Nuclear Magnetic Resonance
Overview
The nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) facility in School of Biological Sciences (SBS), Nanyang Technological University (NTU) is equipped with three solution state NMR spectrometers ranging from 400 MHz to 700 MHz. It is established in 2005 and physically located in the NMR Room (SBS-B1n-03) situated in the SBS building. The NMR facility serves NTU research community and external research institutes with collaborations. Requests from other organizations will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Typically after appropriate training, users are granted access to perform their own experiments. The NMR instruments are accessible 24 hours per day, year-round.
The specifications of the three solution state NMR spectrometers from Bruker are as below:

Note:
- Charge rate is subject to change at the discretion of SBS without prior notice;
- The above rates are before GST;
- Currently weekend discount applies for a new/separated booking to setup new experiments from/after 5:30pm Friday and ended by 8:30am next Monday. For 600/700 MHz NMRs only. This is to encourage making use of any idling time during the weekend;
- External users (not companies) having collaborations with NTU PIs will be charged at NTU rates;
- External users (companies) having collaborations with NTU PIs will be charged at External users (companies) rates;
- NTU (non-SBS) users having collaborations with SBS PIs will be charged at NTU rates;
- Adjunct PIs in NTU will be charged at NTU rates;
- Charges for Service/Training/Technical Support:
35$/h (for SBS users);
50 $/h for non SBS (NTU users);
100 $/h for external users (not companies, unless collaboration with NTU PIs);
150 $/h for external companies, (regardless of any collaboration); - No independent access to be granted to external users (companies).
Procedures for Using the Spectrometers
- Trained users should book NMR slots via the Central Equipment Booking System-FOM;
- New users should contact the NMR manager before use (see the contact information below).
- Users are encouraged to contact the NMR manager if they have any enquiries.
