The Universities of Warwick and Birmingham opened the first of their respective 1.2 GHz NMR facilities at Warwick, the result of a £23M investment from UKRI that solidifies the West Midlands as a powerhouse for NMR spectroscopy.
Professor Steven Brown, Director of the UK High-Field Solid-State NMR National Research Facility, University of Warwick, commented:
“After many years of planning, it is exciting that physical and life science researchers in academia and industry in the UK can now access 1.2 GHz NMR. We look forward to working with the Birmingham-based NMR Facility and the wider UK community and UKRI to deliver joined-up access to state-of-the-art instrumentation.”
