Ensure spinner fits snugly.

Always handle the sample by the top of the NMR tube.

Clean tubes with methanol after putting into spinner but before insertion.

Always handle the sample by the blue spinner

Use air flow for insertion and retrieval.

Drop tubes directly into the magnet.

Fourier transform converts the FID to your spectrum.

FID stands for Free Induction Decay.

FID is the final NMR result.

FID provides time-domain data.

Adjust chemical shift by hand.

Calibrate to most shielded signal

Skip calibration if peaks are clear.

Calibrate to TMS or residual deuterated solvent signal.

Expand on residual deuterated solvent signal and center your cursor to the middle of the peak in order to calibrate

It uses radiofrequency pulses.

We cannot reuse our sample after NMR

It uses gamma rays to excite nuclei.

It is destructive to the sample.

It measures resonance frequencies of nuclei.

To create an air cushion that safely lowers the sample into the bore of the probe within the magnet.

To cool the sample during insertion.

To avoid breaking the NMR tube and damaging the probe.

To prevent contamination of the sample.

Use soft, NMR-specific- brushes for cleaning

Use solvents like Acetone or Methanol for cleaning

Store in a oven no more than 40 degrees Celsius if want to make sure your tubes are moisture free

Place tubes in a 100°C oven.

Air-dry tubes flat if possible

Use chromic acid for cleaning.
