“The SMSU RN to BSN Program does not have you take a set amount of credits each semester. This flexible scheduling was perfect for me as it allowed me to vary the amount of credits I took each semester. I would have struggled without that flexibility as I am a non-traditional student who is also a wife, mother of four, and worked full time while completing my degree. This program is designed to fit into your life, whether you want to be a full-time or part-time student.”

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Service for Colleges and Universities

Educational Opportunity

Southwest Minnesota State University (SMSU) has a solution-state, high-resolution, 300 MHz, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectrometer with a dual proton (1H) and carbon-13 (13C) probe. We are offering an NMR service to Colleges and Universities that are interested in using this technology for their students.

Applications for Industry and Education

NMR is used to determine molecular structures in several important fields, including medical, pharmaceutical, agrochemical, food science, organic, and biochemical industries. It is often taught in undergraduate chemistry laboratories. With our service, you can incorporate NMR in your courses as well.

Available Services

We can offer several NMR services to best suit the needs of your instructors and students:

1. Instructors can mail compounds (about 60 mg each; solid or liquid) to us. Our NMR spectroscopist will prepare and run the samples, and then email the spectra back to you.

2. Or we can email the raw NMR data to you. You then download the software from the manufacturer (for free academic use) and have your students process their own spectra.

3. We can also provide you with directions to have your students prepare their own NMR samples for additional experience. You can then mail us the prepared samples to run.

4. Finally, we can offer field trips to our NMR facility. Our spectroscopist would provide training and have your students run their own spectra in small groups.

Pricing

Send us one compound, or many compounds. Prepare your own NMR samples for reduced cost. Mix and match the spectra. The following options can be combined to fit your budget:

Services Pricing
Sample preparation (includes NMR solvent) $30 per sample
One-dimensional, proton (1H) NMR $120 per spectrum
One-dimensional, coupled or decoupled, carbon-13 (13C) NMR $150 per spectrum
Two-dimensional, absolute value H,H-Correlation (COSY) NMR $200 per spectrum
Two-dimensional, absolute value C,H-Heteronuclear Correlation $250 per spectrum
Half-day field trip (includes: training, all materials, and spectra) $400

Timeframe

The timeframe for an order depends on the number of compounds/samples received and the number of spectra requested. Payment is not processed until your order has been completed.
