Access to the room is controlled by ISU card and can be obtained by submitting the Access Request Form.Ĭlick here to view a PDF from Bruker describing the basic science of EPR and a variety of modern EPR applications and capabilities.

The instrument is located in 1708 Gilman Hall. The Bruker ELEXSYS E580 FT-EPR system was installed in June 2013, and was purchased directly from Bruker Biospin as a refurbished/demo system with the combined resources of many groups and divisions: The College of LAS, VPRED, Chemistry, BBMB, IPRT, Ames Laboratory, Biotechnology Council and CBE. Linux acquisition computer running Xepr acquisition software and XSophe simulation software.X-band liquid helium variable temperature system, capable of 4 K (LHe) and 77 K (LN2) operation.X-band CW and FT bridge and additional microwave source for ELDOR/DEER experiments.10" double yoke magnet, 72 mm air gap, 12 kW power supply with a maximum field strength of 14.5 kG.

Additional accessories and X-band resonators can be supplied by individual research groups for special projects on the E580. System features include: The EPR system has both CW and pulsed/FT X-band capabilities. The system has four resonators for facility use, including two CW resonators (SHQE and aqueous resonators), and two FT resonators (dielectric and split-ring resonators).
