Access

We welcome users from academic institutions and industry to access our facility. We offer two modes of user access: “expert” and “non-expert”.

NMR Schedule

Access to the online booking system for scheduling NMR time and meetings is available to all registered users.

Bookings are approved as rapidly as possible, typically within 48 hours.

We value your feedback, and look forward to ensuring that your visit is enjoyable and productive.

How to access our facility

  • Expert users will receive assistance with the set-up of experiments, as required
  • Non-expert users can choose to be supported through a 4-step process:
    1. Advice on which structural biology/metabolomics technique is best to address the question
    2. Assistance in planning and executing sample preparation either in home laboratories or at UoB
    3. Assistance and training in NMR data acquisition and analysis. Remote training in data analysis, exploiting user-based computational infrastructure, will be offered as well
    4. Guidance in molecular modelling using either NMR-only or hybrid structural biology data

If “Non-expert user” mode is chosen, HWB-NMR staff will contact you to discuss your needs and design a bespoke program of support.

Any concerns or questions should be directed to HWB-NMR staff members, including Teresa Carlomagno and Sara Whittaker.

Note for acknowledging HWB-NMR in publications

Note that all users are required to acknowledge use of HWB-NMR in any publications that benefit from its services, and to submit reports and publications to Sara Whittaker to help ensure the continuity of services.

Any questions about these policies or other operational issues should be directed to Sara Whittaker.
