Tuesday 20 May, 2025at 12:00 - 13:00
Glasburen, KBC, and Zoom
In the frame of the “SciLifeLab Site Umeå / KBC Infrastructure Seminar Series”, the seminars will be organised on Tuesdays during spring 2025. The seminars will be held in a hybrid format - IRL in Glasburen, KBC, Umeå, and online via Zoom. Learn more about the seminar series and Schedule for Spring 2025here.
On 20 May, at 12:00, SciLifeLab Site Umeå / KBC Infrastructure Seminar Series presents:
Solid-state NMR: Molecular insight into complex materials ranging from cancer biopsies to membranes, biopolymers, plants and cells to novel material
Speaker: Tobias Sparrman, Staff scientist, NMR core facility, Umeå University
Short description:
What is solid-state NMR and how can that help you? How does solid state NMR differ from liquid state - strengths and weaknesses?
An introduction to the national NMR infrastructure at KBC with focus on solids and semi-solids. The basic concept of Magic Angle Spinning and examples on how NMR can be applied to a vast range of complex material e.g. in tissue metabolomics, environment, ecology and archeology, but also to obtain detailed information on biopolymers like spider silk, cellulose, lignin and even membranes, and not least investigate new technical materials with the use of 7Li,19F, 31P, 27Al, 29Si NMR.
