400 MHz Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectrometer

The 400 MHz Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectrometer at UMass Dartmouth, a Bruker AVANCE III model funded by a $339,000 National Science Foundation (NSF) grant, is a vital research tool for the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry. It enables students and faculty to perform in-depth chemical analysis, providing high-resolution data for structural characterization of molecules. The instrument supports a range of experiments, including 1D (1H, 13C, 19F, 31P) and 2D (COSY, HSQC, HMBC, NOESY, ROESY) experiments, as well as temperature-controlled and kinetic studies. This powerful spectrometer plays a key role in advancing research in chemistry and biochemistry while offering valuable hands-on training for students, bridging both educational and cutting-edge scientific research applications.
