The Manuel Rico Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectroscopy Laboratory (known as LMR for its initials in Spanish) is a scientific-technical service of the CSIC managed by the Rocasolano Institute of Physical Chemistry (known as IQFR for its initials in Spanish), located on the Serrano Campus in Madrid. Since 2018, together with the NMR Laboratory of the University of Barcelona and the NMR Laboratory of Euskadi, the LMR is part of Spain’s Singular Scientific and Technical Infrastructures map (known as ICTS for its initials in Spanish), which belongs to the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities, as a node of the Bio-molecular Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Laboratory Network. Currently, the LMR offers access to an 600 MHz and a 800 MHz (unique in the CSIC) NMR spectrometers, both equipped with cryoprobes, as well as facilities for preparing and handling biomolecular samples (proteins and nucleic acids), including a production service for isotopically labelled proteins. The objectives of this facility are to provide the instrumental means and scientific support to make the use of the most modern NMR techniques available for structural biomolecule studies, and to facilitate the access to this technique to researchers who are not NMR experts.
