NMR Time Sign-up Rules

• NMR time and instrument assignment will be distributed during a biweekly meeting between PIs and the facility manager. Please send spectrometer time requests to your PI. Any time unassigned during this meeting can be freely booked by NMR users on a first-come, first-served basis.

• Only the facility manager or PIs can determine who is capable to run the instruments without assitance. Unauthorized users are not allowed.

• Saturn500 and Artemis are designed as the walk-on instruments. Available time slots are as follows:
  • Mon to Fri: 9am-5pm (8hr max).
  • Mon to Fri: 5pm-8am (16hr max).
  • Sat to Sun: no restrictions.
  • Booking more than a week in advance is not allowed.

• Users should begin experiments within:
  • 8hr in > 24hr time slots.
  • 1hr in walk-up time slots.
  • NMR time will go back to the system after these grace periods. As a courtesy, please inform users in need of short experiments if your sample is not ready on time.

• Unused NMR time should be communicated by e-mail to the following account: "UTBioNMR at UTSouthwestern.edu". This account will automatically inform everyone in the NMR users list of instrument availability.

• Special requests will be considered depending on spectrometer availabilty.

• Rates for users outside the main NMR groups are as follows:
  • Academic: $5/hr or $10/hr with operational assistance
  • Industry: $50/hr or $100/hr with operational assistance

Thank you for your cooperation.
