This is a two-channel instrument running TOPSPIN 2 equipped with a dedicated 5mm 13C(1H) dual cryoprobe optimised for 13C detection. This provides a six-fold sensitivity gain for both 13C and 1H observation relative to a conventional 13C observe probe (according to our in-house tests). This allows us to handle more dilute samples or offers in excess of a 30-fold reduction in data acquisition time.
The instrument is used by NMR Facility staff only.
This instrument is nicknamed the AVC500 (AV with Cryoprobe).
