Welcome to Pitt’s iLab System!

Pitt’s iLab is integrated with our single sign-on and billing systems, linking faculty and staff grants to reserved time and services.

As of January 2026, we have 37 shared research facilities online with more expected to onboard throughout 2026.  

Important: The department field for all Pitt employees has been standardized using a naming convention. Please do not modify this field, as it is essential for building templates that enable automated reporting.

NMR Facility

Overview of Equipment and Services

The NMR Facility, located on the 4th floor of the Chevron Science Center, features several high-field NMR instruments dedicated to research and teaching. While primarily serving the Chemistry Department, the facility is open to all University of Pittsburgh researchers. The facility contains seven Bruker Avance III NMR spectrometers ranging from 300 MHz to 700 MHz, including three automated systems (300, 400, and 500 MHz). The instruments are capable of multinuclear 1D and 2D NMR experiments such as COSY, NOESY, TOCSY, HSQC and HMBC. Access to the facility requires a mandatory training session by facility staff before instrument use, regardless of prior experience. NMR samples can be run by staff on a limited basis for those who have samples to run infrequently.
