Report on Benchtop MMR System use by Undergraduate Chemists at Samford University in their Research and Education Programs

摘要

Magritek report on the use of their Spinsolve Benchtop NMR spectrometer in the Chemistry Department of Samford University. It is being applied in research in the areas of organic synthesis, reaction methodology and medicinal chemistry. Dr Paul Wiget is an assistant professor of chemistry at Samford University in Birmingham, Alabama. He first became interested in the Spinsolve instrument when he began interviewing for his current position knowing that his research interests would require a work-around for the lack of a local high-field NMR. Spinsolve, as a two-channel system with indirect-detection, was potentially the answer. The ability to perform 13C, DEPT, HSQC, HMBC experiments was most important. Dr Wiget also saw the scripting function as extraordinarily helpful as it would enable the running of a HSQC experiment and followed by an HMBC routine allowing extraction from the 13C data overnight even when measuring dilute samples.
