The Indiana MetaCyt Initiative, as part of the MetaCyt Biochemical Analysis Center has underwritten the acquisition of an 800 MHz Varian Inova NMR spectrometer with a cryogenic probe system. This instrument will be placed along side an existing 600 MHz Varian Inova NMR spectrometer with a cryogenic probe. These two instruments will be located on the ground floor of Simon Hall and will comprise the MetaCyt Biomolecular NMR Laboratory, a state-of-the-art facility for biomolecular structure and dynamics determination.

UPDATE: As of January 15, 2009, both instruments are fully installed, with the 800 setling nicely. Click here from some recent spectra that Sarah Keane acquired with the RT probe. The cryoprobe system will be installed during the month of February 2009.
