Upgrade to UBC-Chemistry Departmental NMR Facility

UBC化学核磁共振(核磁共振)设施是校园内唯一向化学教职员工和学生开放进行常规核磁共振分析的设施。这一设施对于本科生、研究生和博士后水平的约250名化学实习生以及UBC研究社区的其他成员、当地公司和政府实验室的成功和培训至关重要。目前，该设施拥有四台核磁共振布鲁克光谱仪：AV600cryo、AV400inv、AV400dir和AV300。现有仪器的使用年限在9-15年之间，随着维修和维护所需停机时间的增加，这些仪器开始显示出老化的迹象。此外，自2004年该设施上一次升级为仪器以来，核磁共振技术有了显著的改进。

The UBC-Chemistry Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Facility is the only facility on campus that is open to chemistry faculty and students for regular NMR analysis. This facility is critical to the success and training of ca. 250 chemistry trainees at the undergraduate, graduate and postdoctoral levels along with other members of the UBC research community, local companies and government laboratories. Currently, the facility houses four NMR Bruker spectrometers: AV600cryo, AV400inv, AV400dir and AV300. Existing instrumentation is between 9-15 years old and is beginning to show signs of age with increasing downtime needed for repairs and maintenance. Furthermore, NMR technology has improved significantly since the last upgrade to instrumentation in the facility in 2004.
