NMR & MRI area
High-resolution Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Unit
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy allows to identify the structure and composition of molecules and mixtures; to study the metabolic phenotype of cells, tissues and biological fluids; to characterize the molecular processes associated with a given phenotype and to follow the pharmacological effects on the metabolism.
The service makes use of a 14 T Bruker Avance NMR spectrometer, with the availability of selective probes for proton, carbon and phosphorus, for metabolomics studies.
The staff offers support for experimental design and experiment planning and data analysis
To ask for the service:
- preliminary contact the NMR unit staff;
- fill out the online form 'Service Request' briefly illustrating the scientific problem, type of samples, etc.;
- plan a meeting with the unit staff to discuss methods of analysis, costs, timing etc.
