Instrument Usage

Instrument Scheduling:

Scheduling of time on the spectrometers is accomplished by filling in the calendar in the NMR lab or contacting the Director. Users are expected to use their requested time, or find someone who can. Scheduling conflicts will be resolved by the Director or the NMR Users Group (see below). All users must be certified by the Director prior to using the instruments. Upon certification the user will be provided with an account on the spectrometer host computers.

Anyone using the instruments without authorization from the Director will be fully responsible for any damage that they may cause.

Sample preparation, data collection, and analysis:

Staff and facilities are available to assist users in all aspects of NMR data collection and analysis, including preparing labeled proteins by bacterial expression. Staff are also available to work with users in analyzing their data by providing training in the use of NMRPipe, NMRView, ARIA, and Xplor-NIH. Occasional users who do not have the time or desire to make NMR the focus of their research should either collaborate with one of the primary users of the lab, or arrange to have staff collect and analyze their data.

Usage fees (Fees are used to cover the cost of cryogens and instrument service contracts as well as facility staff time.):

  • Publishable (non-proprietary) work: $6.00/hr on the INOVA 500 and $10.00/hr on the INOVA 800.
  • Corporate (proprietary) work: $100/hr on INOVA 500 and $200/hr on the 800 INOVA.
  • Staff time for sample preparation and instrument setup (if required): $40.00 /hr.
  • Staff time for data analysis (if required): $72.75 /hr.

Administration

The policy and planning for the NMR Laboratory is set by the Director and the NMR Users Group, composed of the primary users as well as the Director of the Laboratory for Structural Biology.
