Probes & Capabilities

Microcoils for Solution NMR

In collaboration with Andrew Webb (Univ. of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana), the NHMFL has been developing microcoil technology in both Tallahassee and in Gainesville using the 830 and 750 MHz instruments. This technology minimizes the amount of protein required for structural characterization.

HTS Probe for Natural Products

In a collaboration with Bruker Biospin we have developed a probe with extraordinary sensitivity for solution NMR studies of chemicals produced by biological organisms. This probe, which now operates at UF’s AMRIS NMR facility, is based on high temperature superconductor (HTS) technology. It is the first HTS probe to use a 1-mm sample tube, and also the first HTS probe to have triple resonance capability, allowing it to be used for mass-limited proteins as well as smaller molecules.

• 1 mm HTS ¹H–¹³C–¹⁵N solution NMR probe for natural products. Read an article about this probe (PDF) from Journal of Magnetic Resonance.
