Local computer network is connected to the Internet through the POZMAN network, operated by the Poznań Supercomputing and Networking Center.

The free wireless Internet access is offered to the participants of meetings in the assembly hall of the Institute.

The guests accommodated in the guest’s rooms are offered the password protected access to the Internet (local resource excluded). The necessary password one may found on the label of the room keys.

The connection of any personal device to the computer network of the Institute with the full access to the local resources and services requires former registration of the device MAC address at the desk of Scientific Computing Laboratory. The visitors may request registration of their devices in advance by e-mail.

The users of local network are offered access to the scientific literature data bases and alsoMathematica (v.10) and Origin (v.8) program packages. Please, use the necessary number of licenses only.

Bruker ASCEND spectrometer coupled to a vertical wide-bore (89-mm) magnet operating at 11.74 T (500 MHz for ¹H). The console of the spectrometer equipped with three high power radio-frequency (RF) channels of 1000, 1000, and 500 W is configured for solid-state NMR experiments. The spectrometer is provided with the following accessories:

• 5 mm triple resonance (¹H/X/Y) magic angle spinning (MAS) probe with different X/Y frequency combinations (realized with various RF inserts) including ¹³C, ¹⁵N, ³¹P, ¹¹B, ⁶⁹Ga, or ²H allows to perform high-resolution solid-state NMR experiments in the temperature range from -70 to 80 °C.
• 4 mm double resonance (X/Y) MAS probe covered the frequency range of ¹⁵N - ³¹P allows to perform high-resolution solid-state NMR experiments in the temperature range from -120 to 150 °
• low-temperature wideline probe with four coils (10 mm for ¹⁵N, 5 mm and 10 mm for ²H - ¹³⁹La, and 5 mm for ⁵⁹Co - ⁶⁹Ga) allows to perform static NMR experiments down to 7 K.
• gradient system and diffusion probe with two coils of 5 mm diameter dedicated to ¹H and ²H allow to perform pulse field gradient (PFG) NMR diffusion experiments using maximal gradient strength in z direction of 3000 G/cm.
• additional equipment like high-pressure lines with nitrogen gas or dry air, heat exchangers, nitrogen evaporator, efficient gas refrigerator, dewars, pumps, etc. allow to obtain a broad range of experimental temperature conditions.

Bruker AVANCE spectrometer coupled to a vertical wide-bore (90-mm) magnet operating at 7.046 T (300 MHz for ¹H). Special accessories like a gradient system, microimaging probehead, and the sophisticated imaging package allowed to performed the NMR imaging. The maximal gradient strength in x, y and z direction is 100 G/cm. The probehead for protons has four interchangeable coils of the diameter 5, 10, 15 and 25 mm. For small samples ¹H imaging with 2D resolution of about 10 µm are obtained in our laboratory. The Para Vision software supports a variety of special processing functions including statistical analysis in regions of interest and 3D surface reconstruction. The following imaging methods are performed on our spectrometer:

• Gradient Echo Fast Imaging (GEFI)
• Multislice/Multiecho (MSME), T2 calculations
• Snapshot FLASH Method
• Contrast imaging
• Diffusion imaging (SEDIFFUSION, STEDIFFUSION)
• Constant time/ single point imaging (CTI/SPI)
• Localized spectroscopy (VOSY,VSEL)
• Chemical shift imaging (CSIND)

The system consist of the following units: 1 Tesla wide-bore electromagnet, double circuit magnet/power supply cooling system; 3 NMR probes working in different frequency range; variable temperature controller system for sample temperature control with 0.1 °C precision in the range of - 120 to + 140 °C; local magnetic field compensation system for low Field Relaxometry and Personal NMR Console with Software package: AcqNMR32.

The compact model of SPINMASTER FFC2000 with the electromagnet. The switching time between the polarization, relaxation and detection magnetic field can be 1 ms.
