MRC Account Request and Training

Individuals needing access to MRC instrumentation must complete the following steps to obtain a user account.

1) Complete the User Account Request Form:

2) Create an account on the University's Facility Online Manger (FOM), if needed.

3) Attend a Training Session

Use FOM to request access to the "NMR - Agilent 300 MHz (KNCL 119) " instrument (Section 3 of the FOM Usage Guide). Training typically lasts around 45-60 minutes. Make sure to indicate your availability when you submit your request.
After the initial training session, users should practice with co-workers or at another training session until they are confident they can operate the instrument on their own.

4) Complete Training Exam

You will need to schedule an exam if you didn't schedule it at the end of your training session. Exams last about 15 minutes.
You will be expected to bring a properly prepared NMR sample that you will manually lock and shim. You will then run a standard 1D experiment with the parameters given and produce a phased plot.
Your NMR login and FOM account will be activated upon passing the exam.
The exam will be rescheduled for 1 week if you fail. Failing a second time will require re-attending a training session before the exam can be taken again.
Exams must be completed within 4 months (~1 semester) of training or else you will be required to reschedule training.
Upon completion, you will be given access to the Mercury 300 and Inova 400 in KNCL 119.

5) Advanced NMR Training on high-field instruments

Users requesting access to the walkup 500 MHz with automation in GDYR 103A should request training through FOM.
- The instrument is labeled as
```
NMR - Agilent 500 MHz (Automation) (GDYR 103A) 
```
  in FOM. Be sure to include your availability for training, which lasts 30-45 minutes.
Users requiring advanced training for the 750 MHz NMR should contact Dr. Venkat Dudipala KNCL 132c.
