Purdue Interdepartmental NMR Facility
The Purdue Interdepartmental NMR Facility (PINMRF) provides access to state-of-the-art NMR techniques for Purdue University as well as for area businesses and technology parks. The Facility has spectrometers located in four laboratories in three buildings on the Purdue campus. These spectrometers include nine solution-state machines ranging in field strength from 300 to 800 MHz and one 400 MHz wide-bore solids spectrometer. One of our 500 MHz spectrometers is equipped with a high-sensitivity cryo-cooled sample probe. These spectrometers are able to perform the entire gamut of modern NMR techniques, and are used by researchers in Chemistry, Biochemistry, Medicinal Chemistry/Pharmacology, and other departments in areas as diverse as protein structure determination, organic chemistry support, and metabolomics.
Our Facility is very well staffed, with a Director and an Associate Director (both of these being doctorate-level scientists), an NMR-systems engineer, a computer-systems administrator, an NMR-magnet technician, an administrative assistant, and four student workers. The wide range of skills present within the staff allow the Facility to provide excellent scientific and technical support, as well as the capability to engage in collaborative research.
