NMR Facility

Our lab also manages the small molecule NMR facility within BMB Department. The department has a Bruker AVANCE III HD 500 MHz NMR instrument equipped with a broad-band probe and an auto-sampler. The facility, located in LRB-845, provides NMR spectroscopy services to UMass Chan researchers and users from private institutions. 

Please contact Dr. Akbar Ali if you are interested in using the small molecule NMR facility.
