NMR Spectroscopy at Trent University

Trent University houses our high-field NMR spectrometer in SC 117, which is intended for use in research and teaching by the Chemistry Department. The instrument is managed and maintained by Professor Eric Keske. Trent University also houses a low-field NMR spectrometer primarily used for teaching which is maintained by Lori Van Belle.

If you would like to be trained on either instrument, contact Professor Keske directly (erickeske@trentu.ca).

Users external to Trent University should contact Professor Keske to inquire about applications and rates of use.
