The Bruker Avance III 500 was installed in December 2011. It is a fully equipped 3-channel spectrometer with a shielded Ascend magnet. The magnet sits on a TMC vibration table to protect it from vibrations from the light rail.

There are 2 probes available:

• 5mm BBFO "SmartProbe" with z-axis gradients (usually in the magnet)
• 5mm TBO triple resonance PFG probe, capable of C13 detection with simultaneous H1 and F19 decoupling

Probe changes must be scheduled with the NMR Lab staff.

Variable temperature (+/- 150C) is available.
