Overview

The open-access NMR spectrometers at Yale are grouped into two categories based on their usage, walk-up and high-field. 

The  walk-up spectrometers are accounted in 10-minute increments and can be used reserved for blocks of time ranging from 10 minutes to 24 hours depending on the time of day and whether the usage is on a weekend or weekday.  To gain access to these instruments, please Request a Yale CIC Account.  After we have evaluated your needs, CIC staff will create your accounts and schedule training sessions as appropriate. 

The high-field spectrometers are accounted by the hour and can be reserved for blocks of time ranging from one day to one week (or longer). Time requests are submitted in advance and schedules are determined during Friday booking meetings for the following week. In addition to booking meetings, on alternating Fridays we also have "NMR Club" where users meet to discuss the status of the instruments, present their research and ask questions in a friendly forum. To gain access to these instruments, please contact Eric Paulson or Xiaoling Wu in person. Users of these instruments generally have significant NMR experience and/or are part of a lab or collaboration having NMR expertise.
