Ohio State CCIC welcomes state-of-the-art NMR spectrometer
In September 2023, the Campus Chemical Instrument Center (CCIC) and Gateway National Ultrahigh Field Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Facility welcomed the delivery of a state-of-the-art, 1.2 gigahertz NMR spectrometer that will transform biochemical and materials engineering research at Ohio State. The National Science Foundation-funded spectrometer, which traveled more than 4,500 miles to reach its new home in Columbus, is one of eight currently in service in the world and the only one of its kind in the Western Hemisphere. Lead Research Scientist Alexandar Hansen described the instrument as the “crown jewel” of the CCIC’s array of NMR spectrometers. Hansen said that receiving the grant that allowed for the instrument’s purchase “speaks volumes as to the quality and caliber of research that goes on at The Ohio State University.”
