NMR for New Users
About this training session
This training session is for researchers who are new to Western who would like to use the NMR facility. In this training session new users are given a tour of the NMR facility, safety in the facility and the facility's policies are covered, and the hands-on operation of the automated Bruker 400 is covered. This training session also enables users to utilize the Bruker 600 as well.
Session length
About 60 minutes.
Prerequisite
None.
Session dates and sign-up method
This training is regularly offered in early May and September. Persons can sign-up online using the link that will be sent via e-mail by an NMR Facility staff member. For researchers arriving at Western at abnormal start times, training can be requested by contacting the NMR facility staff in person or via e-mail.
Who should attend this session?
This training session is mandatory for all new users of the NMR facility who will be using the facility on a fairly regular basis (minimum of once every 3 months). If you are going to be using the facility infrequently, it is best to have either a group member or a NMR facility staff member perform your NMR experiments on your behalf.
