 Specialisation

Each SNUG facility has expertise in specific areas that are highlighted on this page.

​

Every liquid state SNUG NMR laboratory can perform routine analysis which includes measurement of one dimensional NMR spectra of all common nuclei, in particular proton and carbon, and perform a range of two-dimensional experiments such as COSY, TOCSY, NOESY, HSQC, HMBC, INADEQUATE and diffusion ordered NMR spectroscopy. Relaxation measurements, reaction kinetics and quantitative analysis are also routinely performed.
