LAB-0083 Bruker Avance 14T NMR spectrometer
High resolution NMR spectrometer operating at 14 T (corresponding to 600 MHz for the proton and 150 MHz for the 13C), equipped with the following 5mm probes and Z-gradient:
- Inverse probe in triple resonance (1H, 13C, 15N)
- 1H / broadband double resonance inverse probe (tunable from 31P to 15N), autotune / match
- 1H / broadband double resonance direct probe (tunable from 31P to 15N)

LAB-0084 STELAR SMARtracer relaxometers

LAB-0085 ICP/MS Termo-Finnigan Element-2
- The tool allows fast multi-element analyzes in low, medium and high resolution. The range of masses that can be analyzed goes from 5 to 260 Dalton
- Low Resolution (R = 300) for interference-free isotope analysis with maximum sensitivity
- Medium Resolution (R = 4000) guarantees the elimination of interference for most of the elements in most types of matrix
- High resolution (R = 10000) provides unambiguous separation of analytes and interferences for very complex matrix analysis
Available measurements
APPLICATIONS AND SERVICES
- Characterization and testing of hyperpolarized molecules
- Molecular and structural characterization of organic, inorganic compounds, proteins and other macromolecules, synthetic raw materials, mixtures etc.
- Complete NMR analysis (1D and 2D, relaxation and dynamics measurements)
- Relaxometric characterization of molecules with potential applications in MRI, of biomaterials and materials in general, of tissues and proteins, of food
Price list
Rates are defined according to specific requests.
Possibility of on-site measurements
It is possible to access the infrastructure by reservation, accompanied by authorized staff, and / or send samples for analysis (without directly accessing the structure). The technical feasibility of the request is evaluated and the experiments.
