Introduction to TopSpin

This 4 day course is designed to introduce users to the Topspin software, provide a greater understanding of the many features within the software, and practical experience at the spectrometer setting up basic NMR experiments. 

The course will be taught focusing on TopSpin 4 software, but the majority of concepts are backwards compatible to older versions of TopSpin.

Lectures will be followed by a laboratory session in front of a spectrometer for hands on experience. 

Topics and Experiments:

• Basic sample preparation and experiment setup
• Standard 1-Dimentional experiments (1H, 13C and DEPT)
• 2-Dimentional structure elucidation experiments (2D-COSY, NOESY, TOCSY, HSQC, HMBC)
• Processing (window function, FT, phasing, baseline correction)
• Post Processing (peak picking, integration)
• Presenting the data (saving/plotting spectra)
• Quantitative NMR (qNMR)
• Introduction to automation
• Computer / TopSpin administration
• Basic Instrument Maintenance (3D shimming, Pulse Calibration, Sensitivity and Lineshape determination)
• Variable Temperature
