Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Facility

The NMR facility is located in the basement of McGuire Hall. The facility provides investigators equipment and resources for structure analysis of macromolecules. 

The facility operates a Bruker Avance III 700 MHz instrument suitable for 1D, 2D, 3D, or 4D homo- or hetero-nuclear experiments. The instrument features a QXI inverse probe with 1H, 13C, 15N, and 31P channels as well as 2H decoupling and pulse field gradients, permitting the acquisition of biomolecular triple resonance experiments. 

The facility is complemented by a variety of training and service offerings. In addition to providing service to serving the VCU community, we also offer NMR services to outside organizations. Please contact us for your NMR and other structural biology service needs.

Services 

  • Data acquisition time (user or faculty mediated)
  • Operator training
  • Consulting 

Note: We expect all users to be appropriately trained to utilize the NMR instrument and other equipment. If you need training please contact Faik Musayev, Ph.D..
