All new users of the NMR facility are required to get training sessions before being giving access to the instrument. Training can only be given by Dr. Schneider.

Students should arrange training sessions directly with Dr. Schneider when they are ready to acquire and process NMR spectra as part of their research... otherwise procedures will be forgotten!!! To this end, training will be given on the student's own sample (see NMR sample preparation).

A basic understanding of FT NMR is essential. Good references to read over before sessions can be found in the section below.

The following user notes should help users go through the everyday routine on their own after the training sessions. They should not be used WITHOUT first receiving training.

• GLP NMR
• NMR 300 instructions Automation
• NEO 500 Manual use
• NEO 500 Automation
• NEO 600 MAS
• NEO 600 Solution

Tutorials on how to process data with Mnova can be found here:

• 1D 1H NMR
• 2D processing
• HSQC
