to remain technically the property of the Foundation while the Chemistry Department undertakes the responsibility for its maintenance and running. The NMR spectrometer is a powerful analytical instrument to be used by chemists for structural determination of organic compounds, physicists for solid- state research, biochemists and molecular biologists for determination of structure-function relationships, and identification of known drugs and toxins, and new compounds from natural source and Chinese herbs. This superconducting instrument, operated at -270°C mainly through the consumption of liquid helium and liquid nitrogen, allows high performance at a low cost comparable to the conventional 60 MHz spectrometer equipped with an electromagnet.
