NMR Core facility

This infrastructure is based on a number of spectrometers (360-850 MHz) and provides support for analysis of a wide variety of biological samples using NMR-based techniques. The infrastructure is a node in the national network SciLife Lab, KAW NMR for Life and the Swedish NMR Centre.

Based on major funding by Wallenberg and Kempe, the NMR platform provides access to modern instruments, perfectly suited for most NMR applications, both in solution and in solid-state. During 2020, a 0.7mm ultra-fast MAS probe will be installed on our 850 MHz spectrometer. The platform provides service and access to all KBC and Campus groups, as well as training in state-of-the-art NMR methodology. In addition, it has an open-access policy for academic/industrial partners at a national/international level.

Connected to this facility is an internationally well recognized, highly collaborative NMR community at UmU (ca. 15 groups) who cover a wide scope of basic and applied research including:

Biofluid and tissue NMR Metabolomics
Solid State NMR applications for material and environmental sciences
Solid and Liquid state membrane lipids and proteins NMR
Protein dynamics and folding
Protein-ligand interaction studies
Fragment-based Screening (FBS)
Plant cell wall structure
NMR methods development

The platform acts as a core facility for several major research projects (Umeå Centre for Microbial Research, and Bio4energy).

The infrastructure is a node in the SciLifeLab national network, KAW NMR for Life and a part of the Swedish NMR Centre.

Project Application

We welcome applications from beginners to experts.
Access to the infrastructure is based on evaluation of project applications. Access can range from solely NMR instrument time, to measurement and data analysis support by our staff, to collaborative projects. Projects are prioritized based on scientific quality and on demand of infrastructure resources.
