Equipment

Avance 300

The Avance 300 originally started out as an AM300 which was acquired by Dr. Ted Schaefer with help from NSERC in 1984.  The console was upgraded to an Avance in 2000.

– QNP (1H, 13C, 19F, 31P) probe (New in 2000)
– BBO (119Ag to 31P) probes, 5 mm and 10 mm
– F/H dual probe
– Z-axis Pulsed Field Gradient (50 G/cm) on QNP probe
– Two RF Channels
– Full Variable Temperature Capability
– BACS Sample Changer added in 2010

Avance 400

The Avance 400 is the latest addition to the NMR family. It is used exclusively for solids. A high temperature laser heated probe is the latest probe that we have added.

Avance III 500

The AMX500 was acquired in 1990 and was upgraded around 2012 to an Avance III.
It can been used for both liquid and solid NMR.
