The WashU High Resolution NMR Facility was founded in 1985 as a shared resource to serve the WashU and greater St Louis research community. Today the Facility a) has a variety of modern NMR instruments with field strength from 7.05-14.1 T, b) has experienced staff that are available for user education as well as collaborative research and c) serves approximately different 45 PI yearly.
Core Description
The WashU High Resolution NMR Facility was founded in 1985 through monies form the school of Arts & Sciences, Internal Medicine and Monsanto Company. The Facility is currently housed in two locations on the Danforth campus in the department of chemistry and a site at the School of Medicine campus. The NMR facility is available to the entire WashU and greater St Louis area research community. The resource is available 24 hours everyday year round. All users are charged for use of the Facility. Cost recovery helps to fund salaries and operation expenses. It is common for the NMR Facility to provide research support to roughly 45 different PI-led groups yearly spanning a broad range of disciplines (chemistry, biology, biochemistry, engineering and medicine). The resource currently houses 5 instruments. Efforts are made to continuously modernize the research Facility through extramural shared-instrument grants, gifts and matching support form Arts & Sciences or the School of Medicine. The NMR Facility also provides support for five undergraduate chemistry curriculum courses.
