Rellocation 400MHz NMR spectrometer from Haworth to Molecular Sciences the University of Birmingham

The University are intending to appoint Bruker UK to relocate four NMR Spectrometers from the existing Chemistry building to a new Molecular Sciences building. The NMR Spectrometers will need to be de-energised, warmed and de-assembled before being protected and transported. They will then need to be placed in position, re-assembled, cooled, re-energised and recommissioned.

The four spectrometers are all Bruker instruments:

• 1x 300MHz
• 2x 400MHz
• 1x 500MHz

One Bruker 300MHz spectrometer is also to be decommissioned and taken out of use.

Sequencing of these moves is important in order to keep the service operating.

As the original equipment manufacturer Bruker also are the provider for maintenance and servicing. Only Bruker will guarantee the spectrometers will perform to specifications following the moves.
