CMS :: Core Facilities :: Spectroscopy

The Spectroscopy Core Facility is equipped with both nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and liquid chromatography/gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (LC/GCMS) capabilities. Our instrumentation available:

NMR Spectrometers:

Bruker Biospin 500 MHz AVANCE Series Digital NMR, complete with the following probes for ¹H, ¹³C, and ¹⁵N detection: 1.7 mm TXI inverse probe with Z-gradient, 5 mm TXI inverse probe with X,Y,Z-gradients and 5 mm BBO probe with Z-gradient

Bruker Biospin 600 MHz AV-III Series Digital NMR, complete with the following probes for ¹H, ¹³C, and ¹⁵N, and ¹⁹F detection: 5 mm TXI inverse probe with Z-gradient, 5 mm BBFO probe with Z-gradient

MS available:

Waters XEVO G2-XS QTOF HRMS equipped with an Acquity UPLC

Sciex Q TRAP 4000 quadrupole/linear ion trap triple quad LC/MS/MS, equipped with an Sciex Exion LC and autosampler

Waters I-Class UPLC with QDa Mass Detector equipped with an PDA UV-Vis detector, degasser and autosampler.

Bruker Scion GC-MS/MS

Sample introduction includes two separate electronic flow-controlled ports; 1) split/splitless liquid injection 2) static headspace sample introduction. The mass spectrometer source has the capabilities of EI and CI (+/-) modes.

NMR Fee Schedule:

	NMR Time*	Technical support	Consultation
UNCW Faculty / Students**	No charge	No charge	No charge
MARBIONC Tenants**	$40 / hr or $10 / sample***	$80 / hr	$80 / hr
Outside Academic Institutions**	$20 / hr or $5 / sample	$80 / hr	$80 / hr
Outside Commercial****	$80 / hr or $40 per sample	$120 / hr	$120 / hr
Users are responsible for all consumables including NMR tubes, deuterated solvents, pipets, and sample disposal. Hourly charges reflect actual reserved blocks on the NMR scheduler. Time is reservable in minimum 15-minute blocks. UNCW Students, MARBIONC tenants, and Outside Academic Institutions are expected to independently acquire data on their samples after appropriate training by the UNCW NMR/MS facilities Director. Otherwise, outside commercial charges apply. ****Per sample charges assume 1D ¹H NMR only with maximum of 15 minutes of reserved instrument time. ****Charges reflect acquisition of data by UNCW NMR/MS Facilities Director. UNCW faculty/student access will be prioritized over other users of this facility.**

Users are responsible for all consumables including HPLC/UPLC columns, appropriate solvents and buffers, vials, and sample disposal. Sample charges reflect actual samples recorded in instrument logbook. UNCW Students, MARBIONC tenants, and Outside Academic Institutions are expected to independently acquire data on their samples after appropriate training by the UNCW NMR/MS facilities Director. Otherwise, outside commercial charges apply. ****Contact NMR/MS facility manager to discuss specific applications. ******Charges reflect acquisition of data by UNCW NMR/MS Facilities Director.
