National Biomedical Electron Paramagnetic Resonance Center

Service activities at the MCW EPR Center are diverse in nature.  They include:

• provision of engineering drawings, advice and, in some cases, hardware
• assistance with construction of EPR and sample-handling equipment
• carrying out HFSS simulations to assist in resonator design
• provision of novel spin traps and synthetic methodology
• recording and analysis of EPR spectra at 1 - 35 GHz
• spin labeling services
• providing advice regarding commissioning, testing and maintaining of cryogenic equipment
• matrix diagonalization computer simulations
• and performance of rapid-freeze quench spectrokinetic experiments
• hosting user groups in HFSS and spectra simulations
   

These activities involve the entire complement of faculty and staff at the Center and, often, graduate students.
