Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Unit

Summary

In the year 2018 the NMR time used was similar to the previous years, staying around the 22000 hour/ year.

The NMR unit has trained around 40-50 new users during this year. Training them in the acquisition, processing and obtaining information on NMR experiments. The training has been done with the help of online tutorials developed by the unit’s staff and a seminar given in order to introduce these tutorials.

Around 15 of these users have been also introduced to how to obtain NMR spectra manually.

Dr. Gabriel González has also given an invited seminar at the University of Barcelona about NMR as Characterization Technique, as part of the Master in Applied Materials Chemistry.
