If you are unfamiliar with laboratory safety, please ask a qualified chemist for help. Select the right type of NMR tube.
Solvent selection is dictated by a number of factors.
It is general practice to use deuterated solvents for two reasons. The deuterium can be used for field frequency lock, making spectral resolution easier to assure and thereby saving you valuable service time. We recommend the use of deuterated solvents wherever possible. The sample must be sufficiently soluble to yield an NMR spectrum. For 1 H and 1 H observed NMR, it is recommended to dissolve between 2 and 10 mg in between 0.6 and 1 mL of solvent so that the sample depth is at least 4 cm in the tube.
