Access to the NMR facility instruments is controlled by UW NetID login. Only users who have completed the training requirements described below are allowed access to the facility instruments. Once a new user completes the training requirements, their UW NetID is authorized to login to the facility instruments and the user may request a key to the facility. - Training for new NMR Facility users - REQUIRED: Send an email to the NMR facility manager to schedule an NMR general training session. These are currently 120-minute sessions. After completion of the general training session, complete an NMR qualifier session, in which you demonstrate proficiency in running NMR experiments, as well as knowledge of Chemistry Department NMR facility procedures and safety rules. These are 30-minute sessions. Optional: training on the automated aquisition (ICON nmr) systems may be done in the same session as the qualifier, if desired. Once you have completed the general and qualifier training sessions, you will receive an email regarding your workstation access and instructions for obtaining room access and making instrument reservations. - Training for ICONnmr automation systems - NEO500, GG500: You must already be in the NMR facility system, and have completed new user training at the 300/301 MHz level first. Contact one of the facility managers to schedule an ICON nmr training session. These are currently 15-minute sessions with time to run a sample afterward. - Training for 500 & 700 MHz instruments - GG500, and AV700: You must already be in the NMR facility system, and have completed new user training at the 300/301 MHz level before using the GG500 or AV700. For training on the 500 and 700 MHz instruments and/or for more specialized experiments (e.g. 2D experiments, DOSY, etc.), contact the NMR facility managers to schedule a 500 or 700 MHz training session. - Obtaining access to the NMR Facility: For new access, once you have completed the general and qualifier training sessions, a link to the key request form will be emailed to you by the facility manager. You must obtain the approval of the NMR facility manager and your supervisor to get key (Husky card) access to the NMR facility. - Instrument Reservation Policies: The following NMR spectrometers must be reserved before use: AV300, AV301, GG500 (Wednesday 10am - Friday 10am), AV700, AV800, and DRX200. Reservations are made using the online instrument reservation calendars. Users are charged for the amount of instrument time reserved, assessed in 10-minute increment blocks.
