  1. Wageningen NMR Centre European Community Large-Scale NMR Facility

  2. 13C 31P flow image Multi facial NMR? • About 30 EC Users per year: That are multi new faces in the laboratory! • Also NMR has multi“faces”:

  3. WnmrC as EC-LSF • European Community Large-Scale Facility for biological and agricultural NMR research • Wide-spread interest from EC Users (about 30 Users per year) • “Freeaccess” to advanced NMR spectrometers • Training in NMR spectroscopy, data analysis, and interpretation

  4. Mission Statement WnmrC • The realisation of excellent research and training in the field of NMR in agriculture and biology • To strengthen the scientific position in the field of NMR within Europe with two unique selling points: whole-plant NMR and LC-NMR-MS • To increase implementation of NMR in agricultural applications

  5. WnmrC: Spider in Web Fields of research Biotech Food Plant Soil Environ

  6. 64 55 - 64 23 - 55 20 - 23 12 - 20 Distribution of EC Users Measuring Days Per Year

  7. Why NMR? • NMR is an extremely powerful analytical tool • detailed information on atomic and molecular level • detailed qualitative and quantitative information • NMR is an imaging tool • high-quality images at resolution up to 10 m • non-invasive and non-destructive

  8. NMR Spectroscopy Spectral resolution liquids chemical shift spin-spin interaction relaxation parameters structural and chemical information NMR Imaging Spatial resolution flow/diffusion imaging image of water distribution “contrast effects” from relaxation parameters What does NMR give?

  9. Dedicated Research Tasks • In vivo NMR on plant systems • In vivo NMR in biotechnology • bioreactors • metabolic pathways • transport processes • High-resolution NMR • small biomolecules • quality control • automated analysis • Solid-state NMR on food and soil systems

  10. Training and Teaching • Training of undergraduate and graduate students, and EC Users • Development of new teaching material, including a multimedia NMR book • Organisation of international courses • Organisation of international seminars and meetings
