Converting NMR Pulses represented as kHz to usable format in Bruker Topspin 3+ Leave a Comment / Bruker, NMR / By Debashish Sahu. Researchers tend to use the units of kHz to represent the power of decoupling or shaped pulses in research papers. The reason for the use of this unit is to easily transfer the pulse-widths & power-levels used in the. TopSpin processing software is free for academia and government institutions. And you can get an Evaluation license for the full Bruker Suite here (requires login/ quick registration).

Installing TopSpin

The following link will take you to a Bruker website where you can register to download Topspin. The processing only software is available on all platforms (Windows, Mac and Linux).

Free versions of Topspin 3.6.2 and 4.0.9 are available to download.

Before you start the download process you'll will need to Login on the Bruker website. After your account is activated you can download the software.

Bruker has a new way to do the licensing, it is called CodeMeter. After the installation of Topspin and upon first using it you will be prompted to obtain a CodeMeter ticket. Once activated the CodeMeter provides the license.

Here is a pdf with the step-by-step instruction for installing Topspin.

If you have questions about installing Topspin send an email to the NMR Facility and we will try to help you though the process.

Please contact Dr Donald Thomas (Scientific Officer, NMR Facility ext: 54706) for further information.

The Bruker Topspin™ software allows acquisition, processing and analysis of 1, 2 or 3D NMR data, and printing and export of the spectra. Besides the spectrometers, the software is available for processing/plotting on the external Linux workstations in the NMR lab. The Software can also be installed and run on personal computers in the department. The Department has a five seat network license (Code Meter) or users can obtain a free academic license from Bruker. The current version used for processing is 3.6.2.

Bruker Topspin CMC-se

Bruker Topspin Free Download

The Structure elucidation module of Topspin allows for the automatic assignment of known structures or the generation of proposed structures using 2D COSY, HSQC and HMBC spectra. Starting with the molecular sum formula, the CMC-se solution analyzes the molecular structure using a defined protocol of 1D and 2D NMR spectra by generating a correlation table. The spectra and correlations can be generated automatically or interactively.

The module is part of the main Topspin software installation, but requires a separate license. The free academic version comes with a “Classroom Licsence” that allows for peak picking and display and management of the assignment tables, but not for the automated assignment and structure generation.

Bruker Topspin License

The Department has currently one network license for the full funtionality that can be used by departmental users.
