Nuclear Magnetic Resonance
The NMR Lab is responsible for maintaining the high field NMR spectrometers, training users, providing spectra on a service basis, and assisting users with design, execution, and interpretation of NMR experiments.
![Two researchers work in the X-ray lab](/sites/isb/files/styles/16_9_placeholder_/public/images/2021/xray-isb.jpg?h=023ede8b&itok=iCH0d9_M)
X-ray
The lab uses diffraction methods to determine high-precision three-dimensional solid-state structures of crystalline organic, inorganic and biological molecules and to identify polycrystalline materials.
