Magnetic Resonance

The Department has facilities dedicated for NMR in the solution and solid-states, as well as instrumentation for EPR.

The solution-state NMR facilities are run in open access by Dr Geoffrey Akien, and all users must receive training before being allowed access. The solid-state facilities are run differently, so either Dr Geoffrey Akien or Dr John Griffin are the first points of contact.

You can view online booking timetables. As part of the N8, and ResoN8 in particular, the Department is committed to asset sharing, so external users are welcome to use the facilities - contact Dr Geoffrey Akien if you're unsure of your needs.

Magnetic Resonance Facilities

  • Solution State NMR

    The solution-state NMR facilities are located in A74 Faraday Building, accessible via A73 and are used for both research and teaching.

  • Solid State NMR

    The Department has a broad range of modern solid-state NMR instrumentation, including the joint second highest field wide-bore instrument in the UK and a wide range of probes.

  • NMR Software

    Learn about the software we use in conjunction with our solution state and solid state magnetic resonance equipment.
