National Ultrahigh Field NMR Facility for Solids

Through a partnership between National Research Council Canada, academic institutions, federal and provincial funding agencies, and the private sector, a National Ultrahigh Field Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Facility for Solids has been established in Ottawa. This facility is seen as the most cost-effective way to give Canadian researchers access to a world-leading facility for advancing the science of materials and the innovative development of technologically advanced products. Funding for the establishment of the facility has been arranged through CFI, provincial agencies, industry and NRC, with NRC providing a site for the facility, including ancillary office and laboratory space, test equipment and some ongoing support. The building is leased to the University of Ottawa, who manages the NMR facility. The equipment consists of a 900 MHz Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectrometer with magnet, console, probes and ancillary equipment to acquire ultra high field static and fast spinning MAS, MQMAS and CP/MAS spectra of solid materials. This type of instrument is not available elsewhere in Canada.
