Ensuring the Future of Multi-User "Hands-On" NMR Spectroscopy at Bath

在材料和化学表征（MC2）核心研究设施中更新和增强我们广泛的NMR服务是战略优先事项，该设施由巴斯研究人员在EPSRC职权范围内使用。该仪器将刷新并显着提高现有基础设备的能力，从而逐步改变整个大学研究组合的样品特征。高灵敏度探头和自动化工具（如样品更换器）的增加也将提高服务的生产率。基于巴斯大学在有效管理研究基础设施方面的良好记录，我们预计新基础设施的长期可持续性和高水平的使用——用户群涵盖本科生、博士生、早期职业研究人员到已建立的研究领导者。

It is of strategic priority to refresh and enhance our extensive NMR service within the Material and Chemical Characterisation (MC2) Core Research Facility, used by Bath researchers from across the EPSRC remit. The instrumentation will refresh and significantly enhance the capabilities of existing underpinning equipment, with a resulting step-change for the characterisation of samples across the University's research portfolio. The addition of high-sensitivity probes and automation tools such as sample changers will also increase the productivity of the service. Building on Bath's proven track record of effective management of research infrastructure, we anticipate long-term sustainability of the new infrastructure and high levels of usage - with a user-base spanning undergraduates, doctoral students, Early Career Researchers through to established research leaders.
