We've been testing this internally at UCL for several months (thanks @nickynak3.bsky.social!). Thanks also to the NMR centre at the Crick for additional testing. The schema is an early release. I'd welcome input from the community on what information matters. Try it out and get involved! 5/

The metadata format is defined by a versioned JSON schema (v0.1.0) covering solution and solid-state NMR. The goal is an open community standard for sample-level metadata that supports FAIR data practices. #FAIRdata 4/ github.com/nmr-samples/schema

NMR Sample Manager for TopSpin (v3+) provides replacements for ij, ej, and sx that capture sample info at injection. The 'samples' command opens an editor, timeline and searchable catalogue. Check experiment times and SampleJet positions even without annotations. 3/ nmr-samples.github.io/topspin/

It's designed to be lightweight so all fields are optional – record as much or as little as you need. There's no server or database, so sample metadata is as private and secure as your raw experimental data. 2/

We've been developing NMR Samples, a set of open-source tools for recording sample information like composition, concentrations, labelling, buffers, tube or rotor details, as human-readable JSON files alongside experimental data directories. #nmrchat #openscience nmr-samples.github.io 1/

I don't think AI can handle the transdimensional portals and demons that come out each time a student mistunes the NMR so badly. We know the battles NMR facility managers fight to keep us safe from evil. Thank you. No AI can replace that.

Good grief 😱 Well, at least my job is safe for now. #NMRchat

Looking forward to giving a webinar tomorrow with @nickynak3.bsky.social about our efforts to establish a 19F NMR fragment screening platform at UCL. Register below and join us to find out more! Friday 19th September, 2pm (UK) www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/webinar-fr... #NMRchat #NMR @ucltro.bsky.social

Just assembled my own NMR 'LABO' set thanks to @fredaperras.bsky.social! Now I only need to buy a head which actually fits on the body 😂 #nmrchat

Make Money - Do Magnets@sararah.bsky.social · last yr.

Got my DNP-NMR “LABO” kit from Ames Lab, which they put together as a United Way fundraiser. I will pretend the gyrotron is another NMR magnet and add my lady spectroscopist later (I think the LEGO person is supposed to look like Fred P who has quit bsky maybe) #NMRchat #chemsky

There's nothing quite like struggling through a day's worth of experiments (including the spec deciding to lock onto the wrong solvent just for funsies) and then just before leaving finally - finally! - getting proof of protein-ligand binding 😅 #nmrchat

Friday, September 19, 9 am UK, Webinar: Fragment Screening using 19F NMR at the UCL School of Pharmacy, Nikita Harvey @nickynak3.bsky.social and Christopher Waudby @chriswaudby.bsky.social www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/webinar-fr... #NMRchat #NMR 🧲

Three simple ways to follow chemical reactions with your NMR spectrometer u-of-o-nmr-facility.blogspot.com/2008/10/kine... #nmr #nmrchat #chemsky

I love the shine of Silicon Rhodamine in the morning sun ✨

Today we're having a cooling/heating rack installed into our NMR liquid handling robot! This should help keep protein and DNA samples stable during prep for our 19F fragment screening service #NMRchat www.ucl.ac.uk/pharmacy/abo...

Very proud to have taken the lead in organising the UK NMR manager's meeting last month and to have helped with the @rsc-nmrdg.bsky.social postgraduate discussion group here at UCL! It was a fantastic pair of meetings: www.ucl.ac.uk/pharmacy/new...

When NMR agrees that you are an absolute clown 🤡 🧪

We're looking forward to it! Especially the opportunity to talk about CcpNmr Analysis and some of the ways the software can be used by people working with small molecules including Peptides or those doing Metabolomics or Fragment Screening.

Just a couple of days left to register for the UK Magnetic Resonance Managers meeting, to be held on 16th June 2025 here at UCL School of Pharmacy! The meeting will involve the usual combination of RTP support, career discussions, instrumentation, NMR techniques, and tips and tricks. #NMRchat
