IISc-DST/SAIF NMR Spectrometers (External users)

Submission of samples: Send the samples in an envelope (preferably in a cloth-lined) or cardboard box. The package should be addressed to "The Convener, SIF, IISc NMR Facility, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore - 560012".

Along with the sample, please send us the screenshot of the payment receipt and the "Request form" (link below) duly filled.

For solution-state NMR: Provide about 5 mg sample for proton NMR and 25 mg for other nuclei, preferably in a small vial. Do not dissolve your sample. We provide the solvent. Please mention if the samples are paramagnetic.

For solid-state NMR: Provide about 300 mg of sample as fine powder. Also make sure that your sample is non-magnetic. Solid-state 1H NMR facility is not available.

Request form:

Solution state

Solid state

Results are sent by email in 7 working days after receiving the samples. In case, results are required within 3 working days, additional 25% charges are applicable. Please mention the same in the request form. The charges are subsidised for academic and government / R&D users; hence the form should carry either an official seal or an accompanying request on an official letterhead.
