Applications *** Note the the probe that used to be on the Varian 500 is now on the Q500 ***

¹H, ¹³C, and 2D with those nuclei; other nuclei (most commonly ¹⁹F and ³¹P) and VT, with training

Console

Varian Inova (three-channel, VT, z gradient, installed 2003)

Probes

• Current probe: SW (switchable): ¹H (usual) or ¹⁹F (with training), and ¹³C (standard) or ¹⁵N or ³¹P (with training). Good for ¹³C detection
• HCN: simultaneously tuned to ¹H, ¹³C, and ¹⁵N, with z gradient (excellent for ¹H and 2D, very poor for ¹³C direct detect). Has ProTune for automatic ¹H tuning
• H/F C: ¹H or ¹⁹F and ¹³C, no z gradient. Best in facility for ¹⁹F

Booking rules

• TBD

Notes

• The QANUC 500 is part of the QANUC High Field NMR centre. Therefore the SW probe may occasionally be removed for several days in a row in order to collect data on the HCN probe. Contact tara.sprules [at] mcgill.ca (Tara Sprules) if you wish to use the HCN probe.
• Always check the booking system before using this instrument
