Bruker Avance 300 MHz NMR Overview
In 2001, a Varian XL-300 console and electronics were upgraded to a Bruker Avance 300 spectrometer. The Avance 300 spectrometer is the departmental workhorse instrument. It is currently equipped with a four-nucleus probe (1H, 13C, 19F, and 31P) with z-gradients and variable temperature capability. An additional 5 mm switchable broadband probe tunable for 1H-19F/15N -31P is also available. This instrument is used primarily for routine walk-on (daytime between 8:00 am to 8:00 pm) use for monitoring reactions, and checking the purity of samples, but it is also used for longer run experiments such as 1D 13C and routine 2D experiments: COSY, HMQC, HSQC, and HMBC in the evening (after 8:00 pm) and weekends.
