NMR stands for Nuclear Magnetic Resonance. An NMR is another machine that is a workhorse instrument because it can be used to identify so many different compounds.

Our NMR instrument consists of a Varian EM390 permanent magnet and an Anasazi EFT-90 console. This gives us an instrument with a 90 MHz proton signal that can do any modern pulse NMR experiments including 2D experiments like the COSY. Our instrument also includes a broadband probe, so we can do a variety of nuclei besides H and C.

We expect the NMR to become one of our central instruments. It will find use in just about every chemistry lab taught at BHSU, as well as being useful in most chemical research projects.
