NABSA provides
NMR (300 and 600 MHz) and Mass spectral (low
resolution EI, CI, ESI) services from
the University of Botswana in Gaborone. African
scientists who wish to benefit from NABSA's services
need to make arrangements with the coordinator
(Prof.
B. M. Abegaz) or with one of the
contact persons (Dr
M. Bezabih for NMR and Dr
M. M. Nindi for MS services) prior
to sending samples for analysis. Raw NMR
data are uploaded
on an ftp server set up for the purpose. Scientists
at the University of Dschang in Cameroon and
at the University of Dar es Salaam in Tanzania
with remote NMR workstations can access
the data directly through the Internet and process
them themselves.. After assessing the data
generated, they may request for additional experiments.
Hard copy of processed data is sent by courier
to NABSA beneficiaries without workstations.
Hard copies of all mass spectra are also sent by
courier.
