This spectrometer is part of the ResoMag platform, the aim of which is to pool the various pieces of equipment from the laboratories belonging to the IP-Paris Department of Chemistry and Processes.

The Bruker 300 MHz "Petal" NMR spectrometer is equipped with a 7 T magnet, a Bruker AvanceIII console and a TBO probe. The Petal spectrometer is primarily intended for routine use, with manual control using Topspin software. Its conditions of use are described in this short note, while its technical use is described in an operating manual available in the spectrometer room.

This spectrometer is primarily designed for 1H, 13C and 31P studies.

Outside routine periods, access to the spectrometer is via the simresa application (https://simresa.polytechnique.fr), at least 24 hours in advance.

  • Routine period (Monday to Friday from 9.00 am to 7.00 pm except Tuesday from 9.00am to 1.00pm):

  • Experiment limited to 15 minutes per tube.

  • Booking period:

  • Daytime: Tuesdays from 9am to 1pm

  • Nighttime 19:00-9:00. All experiments are permitted on a single tube, taking care not to exceed a total of 14 hours. It is possible to programme several experiments on the same tube.

  • Weekend: Friday 7pm to Monday 9am. All experiments are authorised on a single tube, taking care not to exceed the total of 62 hours. It is possible to schedule several experiments on the same tube.

  • The timetable may be adjusted to take account of public holidays during the week.

NB: Don't hesitate to talk to a manager if your project requires a specific use (unstable products, etc.).
