Accessing data

After you have submitted your spectra, you should find out the sample reference number for your sample. These are stored first by date, then by experiment number. The links below give access to the experiment numbers (York login required). The spreasheet has multiple sheets, the first is the pending queue (Form Responses) which are awaiting submission to the NMR spectrometer. The other sheets are labelled with the date when the experiments were run. You should find your sample and look at the experiment number to be able to find your sample.

After you have identified your sample number, you can then find the PDF file for your spectrum. NMR files are located in the NMR folder. and are then organised by date, then by experiment number.


To access the PDF file you will need to go into the /pdata/1/ folder of the experiment. The PDF file is named in the format email_yyyy-mm-dd_expno_1.pdf

Archived Results

Every quarter data from the nmr spreadhseet is archived to a different google sheet, this can be accessed at chemtl.york.ac.uk/results/nmr/archive or following the button below

Reprocessing spectra

In order to get the best use for NMR data, you will need to reprocess all NMR Spectra recorded after the first year. The department's preferred software is ACD/Spectrus which is available on all classroom and lab PCs and for home use. If you wish to use any other NMR Reprocessing software, you are free to do so, so long as the end results are comparible.


In order to reprocess NMRs, you will first need to download the whole experiment folder for your sample using an SFTP client.
