Bruker Avance 300 NMR Users Rules

• Users of the Bruker Avance 300 NMR spectrometer can sign up for 1 hour maximum of prime time (8 am – 8 pm) per 24 hr period/user from Monday to Saturday. Time can be reserved as early as 24 hr in advance for the following day. Sunday can be reserved as early as 48 hr in advance with no time limitation.

• Unscheduled time becomes open-access time on a first-come, first-serve basis for 15 min. experiments.

• If you do not show up within 15 min. of your scheduled time then it becomes open-access time (or within 5 min. for 15 min. time slots).

• If an experiment runs over into next scheduled time then it is subject to termination.

• Users are restricted to one overnight session per week. Overnight runs should be scheduled in advance and must start after 8:00 pm and finish by 8:00 am. If a night time slot has not been scheduled in advance (i.e. the day before) then additional overnight time can be reserved on the same day.

• The instrument is not available during service and magnet fill time on Friday mornings from 9:00 to 10:00 am.

• You can only sign up for your own time. You cannot sign up for someone else.

• For special needs (biological, etc.) see Rensheng Luo (x5330, B433) for scheduling of time on the instruments.
