About our services
The Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) facility is a campus-wide resource hosted by the Department of Chemistry. The NMR Facility was the first core research facility to be established at MU and continues to serve researchers from many disciplines.
The NMR Facility and staff are available for research support to investigators who want to use NMR for structural elucidation of molecules and for the study of chemical and biological reactions. Assistance in the design of experiments and spectral analysis is available upon request.
Small molecule NMR
The 300 MHz, 400 MHz, and 500 MHz spectrometers are set up as walk-up instruments. Samples can be run by trained individuals or by the NMR staff.
Please contact Dr. Shaokai Jiang for training and questions about analyses.
Biological NMR
The 600 MHz and 800 MHz spectrometers are available for NMR analysis of large molecules, peptides and proteins. Samples can be run by trained individuals or by the NMR staff. Requests for instrument time need to be scheduled in advance.
Please contact Dr. Shaokai Jiang for training and scheduling.
