Research Support Services
Dr. Zajicek maintains the NMR facility of the University. The Core is equipped with seven NMR spectrometers for liquid analysis ranging in magnetic field strength from 7.05-18.79 T which corresponds to proton resonance frequencies of 300-800 MHz. Triple resonance cryoprobes of the 700 and 800 MHz spectrometers allow for the measurement of extremely dilute sample solutions.
