ACERT: Service

National Biomedical Center

for Advanced Electron Spin Resonance Technology

Service

last update: January 4, 2008

ACERT provides advice and experimental assistance to the biomedical community in regard to the following modern ESR spectroscopy areas:

Time-domain, pulsed ESR spectroscopy at different frequencies

Distance determination by double quantum coherence ESR;
Fourier Transform and 2D-FT ESR methods for dynamic structure and functional dynamics studies;

Continuous wave ESR spectroscopy at different frequencies

High field/high frequency ESR spectroscopy for dynamic and structural studies;
Multifrequency ESR spectroscopy for dynamic and structural studies;

Access to extensive software —via Internet— for simulating 1D and 2D ESR spectra for on-site and off-site analysis of experimental spectra;

We provide these services to specific users through measurements of their samples, analysis of the collected spectra, providing access to ACERT’s resources, and on-site and off-site consultations.

Assistance in development, in researchers own laboratories, the instrumentation needed to perform some of the unique experiments that ACERT developed;

Assistance in construction, purchase, or upgrade to modern pulsed and/or HF ESR spectrometers;

Development of high-quality low-cost modules for critical parts of modern pulsed and/or HFHF spectrometers, either in-house in ACERT facilities or else contracted out to commercial vendors.
