Using an Autosampler Manually
Very soon, all the instruments in the UChicago Chemistry NMR Facility will be equipped with autosamplers, including the manually-operated ones. Two questions may come to mind: How? Why?
Quick Orientation to Topspin 4.2
The software running 500-3 and which will be running 600-1 is version 4.2.0 of Topspin. It works mostly the same as the Topspin we’ve been using, but there are some important differences to note. This post covers some of the key differences you’ll encounter right away.
Improved Datastation Environments, Data Availability
SUMMARY The data availability scheme for the NMR facility has improved in several ways, beginning in December 2021. See: https://chemnmrlab.uchicago.edu/data/ for specific instructions. New spectra are now automatically copied to datastations nmr15/50 and nmr8/60...
1D NOESY made easy
Many chemical structure questions can be answered with 1H-1H distance estimates derived from the 1D NOESY experiment. There are a variety of ways to set up this experiment, but we now have two short videos that UChicago users can access with their phones at the spectrometer – no homework or special prep required.
