The Department of Chemistry at the University of Toronto has ordered $5.5M of new NMR spectrometers from Agilent Technologies to equip its new 4,000-square-foot NMR laboratory. Dr. Timothy Burrow, Manager of the NMR Facility, informed that the new spectrometers will be a 500 MHz spectrometer, with 7600AS sample changer and XSens 13C sensitive cryogenically cooled probe, a 600 MHz dual liquids and solids spectrometer and a 700 MHz spectrometer with a H/F,CN Cold Probe, 7600AS sample changer and solids, biosolids and semi-solids probes.
"These new NMR systems will provide a vital boost to our new Centre for Spectroscopic Investigation of Complex Organic Molecules and Polymers (CSICOMP), increasing the range and scope of research in key areas," said Professor Robert H. Morris, Chair of the Chemistry Department.
The new facility is scheduled to open later this year, the International Year of Chemistry. More than 45 scientists as well as 300 graduate students and postdoctoral fellows will be able to use the facility for inorganic, organic, materials and bio-organic research, including broader investigations into the fate of fluorinated compounds in the environment. The new facility is supported by the Canada Foundation for Innovation and the Ontario Ministry of Research and Innovation.

"We are excited that the University of Toronto's new facility has chosen Agilent as its primary NMR equipment provider," said Kevin Meldrum, director, research products marketing for Agilent. "Agilent is dedicated to helping scientists meet all of their spectroscopy research needs and this agreement further illustrates that commitment."

A postdoctoral position is available for a Canadian Institutes of Health
Research funded project in the laboratory of Professor Voula Kanelis at the
University of Toronto Mississauga (UTM). The successful candidate will
investigate the nucleotide binding domains (NBDs) of the sulfonyl urea
receptors (SURs) using biophysical approaches, including NMR spectroscopy. SUR
proteins are ABC transporters that form the regulatory subunits of
ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channels. We are studying the effects of
disease-causing mutations in the SUR NBDs on their stability,...
