Users who have completed training should have accounts on all spectrometers, workstations and the MAG-RES system (let the NMR staff know if you don’t). Users will need to use their assigned 3-letter NMR username for the MAG-RES system.
1. Users should have a reservation to use the I600, I500, and B400 NMR spectrometers. Reservation for B500 is encouraged but not required.
2. There are time constraints for signup and use of the NMR spectrometers during “daytime”. For I600 and I500, “daytime” hours are 9am – 5:30pm, Monday – Friday. During “daytime” hours there is a limit of 120 minutes total per day per spectrometer for each user. There is also a limit of 60 minute for each use during this time. For B400 and B500, “daytime” hours are 8am – 7:30pm, Monday – Friday. There is a limit of 90 minutes total per day per spectrometer for each user. A limit of 30 minute for each use is for B400, 45 minutes for B500. There are no time constraints for evenings, nights, weekends, and holidays.
3. For B500 and B400, users may sign up for time 2 days in advance. Monday sign up begins on Friday. For I500 and I600, users may sign up for time 7 days in advance.
4. Users are responsible for using a time slot when they’ve reserved it. Users should always cancel reservations they will not use. Users forfeit their scheduled time slot if they are more than 5 minutes late and the spectrometer is available for walkup users during that user’s reserved time.
5. Reservations for the same time slots on multiple instruments are not allowed.
6. See an NMR staff member at least one day in advance to schedule special experiments that require long acquisition times and/or setup assistance from the NMR staff.
