Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Facility (NMR)
Who we are
We specialise in the analysis of materials and bio-materials using Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (NMR and EPR) and provide solutions for research and industry.
Our facility is equipped to international standards, featuring state-of-the-art instruments including:
8 spectrometers for solution measurements
4 spectrometers for solids and soft matter analysis
1 spectrometer for electron magnetic resonance (EPR)
Additionally, we offer a dedicated computer room for off-line data processing and archiving.
Accreditation
Our facility is accredited by the National Association of Testing Authorities (NATA) to the ISO/IEC 17025 standard, which is the international standard used to demonstrate the competence of testing laboratories.

Capabilities
Instruments
-
- Bohr - Bruker EMXplus EPR
-
The ILUMR MRI 2 MHz is a compact and portable desktop MRI system designed for educational and research applications. It enables users to perform 1D, 2D, and 3D MRI experiments, generating high-resolution images quickly and efficiently.
-
The Mageleka MagnoMeter TD NMR 20 MHz is a cutting-edge low-field nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometer designed for versatile applications in research and industry. This compact instrument provides rapid and accurate analysis of complex solid-liquid and liquid-liquid formulations without the need for extensive sample preparation.
-
Dynamic Nuclear Polarization (DNP) is an advanced technique used to significantly enhance the sensitivity of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiments. By transferring polarization from highly polarized electron spins to nuclear spins within a sample, DNP can increase NMR signal intensity by factors of up to 200 or more
