Magnetic Resonance

Overview

The Magnetic Resonance Facility has five solution-state NMR, one solid-state NMR, and one EPR spectrometers. The facility is located at the Molecular Science Building (MSB) 1421 and 1416. Members of the UCLA community, other academic institutions, and commercial enterprises may use the NMR and EPR spectrometers after training by the Magnetic Resonance Laboratory personnel.

All users will have their grants recharged for use of the NMR spectrometers. Users from Departments other than Chemistry and Biochemistry must request a 6-digit recharge account prior to use of the spectrometers.
