EPR at UIC Chemistry

Bruker EMX EPR Spectrometer. (located in 2210 SEL)

EMX_manual - Manual for the X-band EPR
EMX_procedure - Operation procedure for X-band EPR (needs to be redone)
Sample_prep - Some guidelines on sample preps as dielectric constants are important. Also try to prep your sample concentration to ~100-500 uM. Less is more in EPR (see Goldfarb lecture-1 below ~70' in)
Rate = $40 per day

EPR Consumables:

Wilmad_EPR_Catalogue - We need 4mm diameter for the X-band EPR
EPR_tube - Short tubes for RT expts. 4mm thin walled EPR tube from Wilmad ($8 each)(SKU: 707-SQ-100M)
EPR_tube - The long tubes are used for N2(l) expts. 4mm thin walled from Wilmad ($10 each) (SKU: 707-SQ-250M )
EPR_caps - 4mm CAPS from Wilmad ($54/25pk) (SKU: WG-1264-4)
Long_pipette - Wilmad long disposable pipettes. Very good for NMR and EPR tubes $86/100pack (SKU: 803A)
