Contact Brett with submissions for the shop. In addition, the website was updated with the Services menu tab, which includes information on the Electronics Shop, the basics of X-ray crystallography, remote data processing assistance, sample submission guidelines, as well as X-ray structure determination information. New Instruments! 10/16/2019We are pleased to welcome three new instruments to our services this month. The first is a Horiba time-correlated single photon counting fluorometer. The second is a Perkin Elmer steady-state fluorometer. The third instrument is a Thermo FlashSmart CHNS/O combustion elemental analyzer that replaces the ca. 1995 Perkin Elmer CHN/S that served us well for many years. Please contact Brett for training on either of the fluorescence systems, or Sarah for EA sample submission. Welcome, Dr. Boote! 09/06/2019Dr. Brett Boote officially started in the CIF on Tuesday after an extensive search for our fifth staff scientist. Brett brings an array of experience to our team, particularly in the realms of spectrophotometry and instrument design. We will be updating our various instrument websites over the next few weeks as we begin to settle on our group instrumentation duties moving forward. Electronic Key Card Form 08/15/2019One less piece of paper - lab access requests can now be submitted electronically. Website Update 04/25/2019Our website has a new look! There are a few new pages available, including a comparison of the NMR Spectrometer features and access to MNova licenses and installation information. Please let us know if you find any dead links or errors by emailing Sarah. Mass Spec News 04/25/2019: Paperless service!!!  the mass spec lab is starting to phase out submission forms.Google calendar is being used for all reservations. All instruments provide login/logout for all users.Goodbye!   03/01/19Steve's last day!  Thank you for your support of CIF.  It has been a pleasure to work with all of the students staff and faculty for 41+ years!iLabs lab management software going live!  11/5/18New instrument scheduling and usage tracking software will be phased in for all instruments beginning next week.  The first phase includes UV-Vis, CD, DLS, and GCMS.Avance NEO-400 NMR is here!  06/08/18The Bruker NEO Avance 400 NMR is here and installed with a BBO probe.  Beginning on June 12 it should be available for experienced users who are currently using the Avance III 600 NMR.  A very short training with Shu or Sarah might be required.  Expect a direct e-mail soon with details.  Unfortunately the InsightMR features using a Prodigy probe will not be available for a few more weeks.  The probe is back-ordered, and the shipping company seems to have lost the crate with the InsightMR parts!!  Stay tuned...GC Q-TOF is here!   04/25/18The Agilent 7250 GC Q-TOF instrument has arrived and been initially installed.  It will take a week or two for Kamel and I to learn the system and create some basic training materials.  In the meantime, you will start to see lot's more info on the GC Q-TOF page as we sort through company manuals and training materials.  The GC x GC attachment has arrived, but installation is not yet scheduled.is scheduled to arrive late in May!  04/25/18The Bruker 400 NMR replacement for the aged DRX-400 is on track to arrive later in May.  It will be installed with "normal" probes for the moment.  The high-sensitivity cryo-cooled probe should arrive in July.GC Q-TOF Mass Spec on Order...  02/01/18With the assistance of the ISU Foundation, we have successfully applied for Carver Foundation funds for the purchase of a new GC Q-TOF mass spectrometer.  The Carver Funds were augmented with funds from the Agilent Academic Incentives Program to allow us to purchase a complete Agilent 7250 Q-TOF with 7890 GC.  In additon, we will be purchasing a thermal-focus GC x GC accessory.  A webpage for the new instrument is under development, so stay tuned for all of the information you need and want about this fantastic new piece of equipment!  Delivery is expected by early May, 2018.NMR Upgrade Funded... 09/04/17Success at NSF!  Our proposal to upgrade the aged DRX-400 with a new console, cryogenically cooled broadband probe, and external reaction kinetics and NMR-flow apparatus was approved.  The purchase process is underway, and if things go smoothly, we may see a new system installed as soon as the first quarter of 2018. Thanks to Sarah, Professor Sadow (PI), and the various other co-PI's and contributors that made this success possible.Bruker Venture D8 Diffractometer added to the X-Ray Lab....  06/12/17The Venture D8 single-crystal diffractomer is now available in 1707 Gilman.  With an intense Mo source and extremely sensitive detector, the instrument can acquire complete data sets for structural analysis very quickly.  And the rates are just as low as before for complete structure solution!
