Practical Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Workshop
Learn to do nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) on state-of-the-art instrumentation in the Structural Biology NMR Facility. During this workshop you will learn useful techniques and experiments on Varian Inova 500 MHz and 600 MHz spectrometers. Whether you are considering NMR as a research tool in your lab or just would like to learn more about NMR, this workshop addresses practical aspects of experimental NMR and provide valuable hands-on experience.
