    Data Storage:
      The NMR Facility has the capability of using the following data storage media:
    • Writable CD's
    • 4mm Tape (2 GB)
    Software Available in NMR Facility:
      Data Processing and Chemical Shift Assignment Software:
      The NMR Facility supports two, third party NMR software packages, ACD-NMR and NUTS. Support from the NMR Facility includes maintaining current versions, training researchers in the use of the software, and assisting faculty in using the software for courses, course problem sets and exams.

      ACD-NMR - calculates the 13C and 1H NMR spectrum for drawn organic structure(s). For the calculation of chemical shifts and coupling constants, the program utilizes an internal database with experimentally determined chemical shifts and an algorithm based on intramolecular interaction parameters using structural fragments. This program is used by faculty, researchers, and students to assist in the analysis of NMR data of pure and mixed samples and as a learning tool in courses incorporating spectroscopy methods of structural analysis.

      NUTS - routine processing of a large variety of file types generated by diverse instruments available in the NMR Facility (six NMR vendors are represented in the NCSU Facility). While access to the data is good as a result of the Facility’s data server, access to the two software packages is severely limited in that they are only in the NMR Facility main location. Additional licenses for the software are required to increase the access of these two software programs from other locations on campus. This will greatly increase the availability of the software to students in the teaching laboratory, and researchers in the Departments of Chemistry, Biochemistry, Chemical Engineering, Textile Engineering, and Material Sciences.
