Mnova License
CCB's Laukien-Purcell Instrumentation Center (CCB LPIC) Mnova license includes: Mnova NMR, Mnova qNMR, Mnova Reaction Monitoring, Mnova Mass, Mnova ElViS, and Mnova NMRPredict. All licensed components are available to all active CCB LPIC users. Each user may request one copy of the license. The license is renewed annually (every December for the following calendar year). Other CCB students and employees may request an Mnova license but must pay an annual fee that requires a 33-digit account string by February of the calendar year to which the license applies.
Please request activation of Mnova 2021 from this Google Form.
CCB G1 students may request a copy of the license after becoming an active LPIC user during rotation in CCB; the license is good for 90 days. To keep your license valid for the rest of the year, you still need to be an active LPIC user after officially joining a CCB research group.
Reservation
Reservation is required for all available instruments on the FACES website.
