The 270 NMR system, operating at a H-1 Larmor frequency of 270.620 MHz, is used for solid-state NMR of dipolar nuclides (H-1, C-13, Si-29, and P-31), using a 7mm CPMAS Doty probe.

The 360-1 NMR system, operating at a H-1 Larmor frequency of 363.335 MHz, is used for both solid and solution NMR. It is equipped with a 7mm CPMAS Doty probe, a 5 mm SuperSonic Doty probe, and 5 and 10 mm solution probes.

The 400-1 NMR system, operating at a H-1 Larmor frequency of 399.798 MHz, is equipped with 5 and 10 mm solution probes. It is a state-of-the-art Varian INOVA spectrometer, equipped with inverse-detection and PFG capabilities.

The 400-2 NMR system, operating at a H-1 Larmor frequency of 399.853 MHz, is equipped with 5 and 10 mm solution probes. It is a state-of-the-art Varian INOVA spectrometer, equipped with inverse-detection and PFG capabilities.

The 400-3 NMR system, operating at a H-1 Larmor frequency of 399.627 MHz, is equipped with a 5 mm solution probe. It is a state-of-the-art Varian INOVA spectrometer, equipped with inverse-detection and PFG capabilities.
