The UK High-Field Solid-State NMR Facility
Solid-State NMR at 850 MHz and 1 GHz: A World-leading UK Facility to deliver Advances in Materials Science, Chemistry, Biology, Earth Science and Physics
The award of a from and : enabled the Facility to start operation on February 1st 2010.
The original 850 MHz widebore solid-state NMR system (4 channel HFXY with 11 MAS (0.7 to 7 mm) probes and a DOR and a static probe), as supplied by , is sited in the Magnetic Resonance Centre at Millburn House, 神马福利影片. Additional funding was provided by the 神马福利影片 including via funding through Birmingham Science City Advanced Materials Projects 1 and 2 supported by and the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF). A 1 GHz standard-bore (4 channel HFXY with 8 MAS probes (0.7 to 7 mm)) is available since 2021.
Following a bid by a consortium of 7 UK universities, contract funding (PR140003) with a service level agreement (SLA) has been awarded as an (with 10% funding by ) for a further 3+2 years of operation from January 2015.
The facility continues to operate as a until June 2026 with EPSRC (and 20% BBSRC) funding The PIs of this grant were awarded 拢17M of funding to procure the first 1.2 GHz NMR systemLink opens in a new window () in the UK, with this instrument reaching field in March 2025.
