NMR spectroscopy is the quintessential backbone of chemical analysis. It is used to identify organic and inorganic chemicals and enables complete structural elucidation of pharmaceuticals. This technique is vital to the operation of any chemistry department. As part of the CaNeBIC CFI submission, NMR equipment requested was essential for New Plants, New Analyses, New Medicine initiatives that will focus on high-impact cannabis research and will equip UNB with the most state-of-the-art NMR equipment east of Montreal. Beyond CaNaBIC, there are currently 8 research active faculty members whose research teams make heavy use of this facility. UNB also has a number of research teams in Chemical Engineering, Physics (MRI centre), and Earth Science who make use of this equipment. We also perform service analysis for more than 8 private companies in Fredericton (>$25K per year in services charges), including the NRC Potato Research Center in Lincoln, NB. Furthermore, NMR is heavily used in the delivery of our chemistry program, with 8 courses requiring access to NMR. The Dept of Chemistry at UNB Fredericton has a 17-year-old Varian-Inova300 and a 27-year-old Oxford Instruments UNITY400 in service. Both instruments are obsolete, with little availability of parts from second-hand suppliers such as MR Resources, eBay, and other universities who have used spare components. These two spectrometers are the only NMR instruments supporting all research programs in Science and Engineering at UNB-Fredericton and the Faculty of Science, Applied Science and Engineering at UNBSJ, and have well exceeded their useful life (typically 14-years).
