Training

A mandatory training plan is in place for users to access any instrument in the laboratory. Requests for NMR training should be sent by email to Dr. Carlos Pacheco. The NMR lab is located at Tiernan Hall, basement B008.

Training

For those new to NMR to understand the instrument operation and terminology. To ensure a fruitful training experience, we've designed a plan that links the concepts presented in the training with those covered in the files and videos. By following this plan, you'll be well-equipped to make the most of the NMR training and ready to use the instrumentation.

The essential training consists of these steps:

Prerequisites for the NMR Training:

  1. Read the SOP for the new BROADBAND probe installed in January'23 and the SAMPLE CHANGER (installed in January 2024) that contains more automated steps, streamlining the data collection:  SOP for the new 500-MHz BB probe. 

  2. Read the SOP for the AV-300-MHz instrument.

  3. Read the EHS supplement.

  4. Watch the following videos:

Before commencing NMR training, the new user will complete a questionnaire of five questions on the information provided in the above items. The questionnaire will be filled out in the NMR lab before training. If performance is assessed as satisfactory, NMR training begins. The new user should arrive 20 minutes before the training in the NMR Laboratory to answer the questionnaire.
