Welcome To: The NMR Facility in the Department of Chemistry and
Biochemistry at UCLA
The department has six NMR spectrometers available for use by faculty
and students. Weekly training is provided
for the ARX400 sample changer, acquisition and processing of routine data
on the AV300, ARX500 and DRX500, and AV600, use of variable temperature on
the all spectrometers, and probe change and tuning on the 500's and 600.
There is also an ASX300 available for use in solid state chemistry.
