The strategy of the Royal Society of Chemistry\u2019s program is to cover the principles of spectroscopic techniques, as well as use real-life contexts to demonstrate the applications of the techniques.<\/p>\n<p>For the first time, the Thermo Scientific<sup>\u2122 <\/sup>picoSpin<sup>\u2122<\/sup> 45 Benchtop NMR Spectrometer (Now discontinued. <a href=\"\/c\/spectrometer-accessories\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Browse similar items<\/a>). allowed Welsh students to experience NMR spectroscopy.\u00a0 Previously there had been no opportunity to demonstrate this technology because traditional NMR requires fixed installation. The picoSpin-45 breaks through this limitation. It is cryogen-free, portable, weighs less than 5 kg, and can be set up and ready for use in a very short time\u2014making it an ideal addition to the Spectroscopy in a Suitcase program.<\/p>\n<p>Cole-Parmer\u2019s Regional Sales Manager Dee Gill said that the picoSpin 45 is ideal for chemistry education. \u201cThis unique product is a compact, easy-to-use, and affordable instrument, which is designed to identify chemical groups. We are delighted to be able to support the RSC with this worthy project and we see this as an ongoing initiative,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Gathering excellent feedback from both teachers and students, Spectroscopy in a Suitcase continues to expand its provision as part of the RSC\u2019s long term commitment to chemistry education. The trial of the NMR equipment in Wales has been made possible through a grant from the National Science Academy, Wales.\u00a0 More than 20 universities now host kits which they take to aspiring young chemists to enhance their learning experience. The opportunity supplies A-level students direct contact with postgraduates and provides schools with otherwise restricted resources with free spectroscopy resources.<\/p>\n<p>Dr Dayna Mason, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rsc.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Royal Society of Chemistry\u2019s<\/a> Regional Coordinator for Wales is excited that their region was selected to pioneer the NMR techniques for this project. \u201cThe feedback we received from both students and teachers taking part in this program indicated clearly that the most valuable improvement would be the introduction of practical hands-on NMR experience,\u201d she said. \u00a0\u201cFor example, being able to compare IR with NMR spectroscopy on a range of chemicals will support theoretical knowledge and offer students a unique perspective that is currently only available to PhD students.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cardiff University and Bangor University host the first kits to include the Thermo Scientific picoSpin45 spectrometer. \u00a0New NMR training material will be developed by NMR Specialist Dr Andy McLachlan. According to Dr Enlli Harper, Laboratory Academic and Welsh Medium Chemistry Lecturer at Bangor University, they already have several Welsh schools waiting for Spectroscopy Workshops in the autumn term.\u00a0 \u201cWe intend to test the training program first by running it in one or two local \u2018friendly\u2019 schools; this will help iron out any issues and make sure that we take advantage of the new instruments that are available to us,\u201d said Dr Harper.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3160\" style=\"width: 190px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.coleparmer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/nmr-suitcase2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3160\" class=\" wp-image-3160 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.coleparmer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/nmr-suitcase2.jpg\" alt=\"Training session at the Chemistry Department of Bangor University\" width=\"180\" height=\"183\"><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-3160\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Training session at the Chemistry Department of Bangor University<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The RSC is hoping to add NMR spectrometers to all suitcases in England, Northern Ireland, and Scotland using this pilot scheme as a model.\u00a0 \u201cWe will continue to support the RSC in the future\u201d said Andy Waldes, Director of Operations, Cole-Parmer.\u00a0 \u201cSpectroscopy in a Suitcase complements our long term commitment to science and engineering, and is an ideal program for us to be involved in.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spectroscopy in a Suitcase This is an outreach program which gives more than 10,000 A-level students in the UK each year the chance to experience hands-on spectroscopy.
