Solution-State, Solid-State and Time Domain NMR Lab Instruments at NWTC
The Intertek North West Technology Centre laboratory (United Kingdom) provides extensive expertise in solid-state and solution-state NMR spectroscopy for clients across the world. Intertek Scientists apply NMR spectroscopy to the analysis and characterisation of materials and chemicals, serving a wide range of industries. Particular expertise resides in the laboratory for home and personal care products.
Solution-state NMR:
The solution state NMR service utilises a Bruker DRX 500MHz spectrometer equipped with a 60 sample capacity auto-sampler for high throughput automated operation. The instrument is equipped with 4 probes which can operate at variable temperature from (-100oC to 250oC):
5mm QNP (1H, 13C, 31P, 19F) with z-gradient, computer controlled switching between four nuclei at highest sensitivity
5mm Inverse probe with z-gradient
10mm VSP (reduced 27Al and 29Si) probe
10mm Standard VSP probe
Solid-state NMR:
The solid state NMR service utilises a Bruker DSX 300MHz spectrometer equipped with a micro imaging accessory. The instrument is equipped with various probes for a range of applications:
