Students
must complete a checkout procedure before they can use most instruments in the
department. Typical checkout procedures take about 1 week. They involve 2 or
more training sessions with me and successfully completing a worksheet. I use a
mastery-based approach so the actual time and work depend on the student. Here
is what is available:
300 NMR Checkout Level 1
Proton
experiments with deuterated chloroform.
300 NMR Checkout Level 2
Carbon
experiments, decoupling, other deuterated solvents.
300 NMR Checkout Level 3
Probe
tuning for heavier nuclei, VT experiments.
Laser Safety
University
required workshop on laser safety.
Specific Lasers
Instructions
on use of specific lasers.
NMR Maintenance
