Welcome!
ALERT ATTENTION ⚠️
In observance of the holiday, Juneteenth, Agilent CrossLab/iLab Operations Software Support Help Desk will be closed during U.S. hours on Thursday, June 19th, 2025. We will resume regular U.S. support hours on Friday, June 20th, 2025. EU and APAC Support will remain open during this time. For urgent matters, please add "Urgent" to the ticket/email subject or press "1" when prompted to escalate a call on the iLab Support phone, and we will prioritize those requests first.
The principal mission of the Biomolecular NMR Center is to provide instrumentation for, and aid in obtaining data on the structure and dynamics of biological macromolecules. The Facility offers state-of-the-art instrumentation, training, software and assistance in designing experiments. We strive to help the Vanderbilt community realize the potential of biomolecular NMR and to work with NMR Spectroscopist to stay current with the most recent experimental approaches.
Our current instrumentation consist of Bruker AV-III spectrometers at 900MHz (1), 800 MHz (1), 600MHz (2), and 500 MHz (1). Cryoprobes for increased sensitivity on 1H and 13C are available on the 900, 800 and 600 MHz spectrometers. The 500 and both 600 MHz spectrometers are equipped with SampleJets for automatic sample changes of up to 600 samples, which is used for screening. The 601 instrument is primarily used for Fragment based screening while the 602 is a certified IVDr system for quantitative metabolome screens in biofluids.
All instruments can handle various sample tubes, e.g. the standard 5mm 7" or 8" tubes, as well as the 3mm 4" tubes using the match spinners. These tubes are available at the chemistry storeroom. Smaller tubes can also be used at special requests.
