Strong
Magnetic Fields
Please ensure you have read the safety information in the Blue
Book and are aware of the following:
- All of the NMR instruments incorporate a super conducting
magnet
which produces a very strong magnetic field.
- No one with a heart pacemaker should enter the NMR labs.
- Metal objects must not be brought into the NMR labs.
- The field can extend outside of the magnet can - especially
directly above and directly below.
- Generally keep at least 2 meters from the the centre of the
magnets - this should ensure you are outside of the 5 gauss
line.
- Double check you have nothing that can be affected by
magnetic
fields when you have to get close the the magnet for tuning or
loading
samples.
