13 reviews of Spinworks 'Amazing new studio! Kudos to Spin-Works for their best facility yet!' Gyms, Trainers Edit. Open 8:00 AM - 12:00 PM. Add photo or video. Today is a holiday! What is SpinWorks SpinWorks has two functions: The first is to provide easy basic off-line processing of 1D NMR and 2D data on personal computers. SpinWorks other function is the simulation and iterative analysis of complex second order spectra including dynamic NMR problems and certain solid.
The SpinWorks program is the creation of Dr. Kirk Marat at the University of Manitoba.
SpinWorks can do all of the NMR data processing needed for Polymer Lab (and for routine research work in organic chemistry). This manual is designed to acquaint you with the program and guide you through a typical operating session.
SpinWorks is freely available, and it is capable of much more than the simple tasks covered in this manual. If you are interested in obtaining a copy of SpinWorks for your own use, or would like to explore more of its capabilities, then check out the following:

Processing of UW Chemistry NMR Data
(STF) funded Software
- MNOVA NEW ! We are happy to provide the popular and cutting edge NMR processing software MestreNova (more popularly, MNova), thanks to the generous funding obtained from the Student Technology Fee resource of UW. All affiliated UW members with a primary UWNetid login credential can download the license files from this link : MNova License Files. Download the software from the vendor site by clicking here. During setup, install all three license files when prompted. Contact the Facility staff for further assistance.
- Bundled in this version, you can also enjoy the versatile quantNMR (qNMR) and reaction monitoring modules that work tightly integrated with the base MNova software.
- To activate the license, you must either be connected to the network on campus, or via the Husky OnNet VPN. Once activated, it only needs to check in every 90 days.
Freeware
Here are links to a few free NMR processing software that are popular. At least one of them is hosted here for download:
- SpinWorksThis is a software developed by Kirk Marat from University of Manitoba. SpinWorks is freely available for download and works on Wndows based computers. The author comments that some people have successfully tried it with Wine to run on Linux platforms and with SoftWindows on Mac as well. The NMR Facility could successfully run SpinWorks from Windows hosted by a Linux machine via VMWare. You can download the Zip archive of SpinWorks from the link above.
- NMRPipeThis is a nice software that is an outgrowth of dedicated effort by Frank Delaglio of NIH (part of his graduate work) and what more it is free ! Nevertheless, this runs only on a Unix or Unix-like operating system (including Linux) and probably more suited to do 2D and 3D NMR data than a routine 1D spectrum processing. It requires working knowledge with UNIX.
- matNMR 3This software was developed by Jacco van Beek, and published in J. Magn. Res. It is a toolbox for processing 1D and 2D NMR spectra under MATLAB, and is free. It has been tested under Solaris and MS Windows 95. Additionally, it works on MacOS 7.5 and 8.0), and on Windows NT.
- iNMRis a software available on Mac or Windows you can download in demo mode for use of select features with no expiration. You can upgrade to a commercial product from Mestrelab for full use, and all future versions.
- NEW ! Free Topspin 3.6 processing software - available for download here: Topspin 3.6 for Data Stations

- ACDNMR A 1D and 2D processing version is available in this suite. Interface is user friendly and can read many NMR fid formats including Bruker's.
- MNOVA from Mestrelab Research has more than one flavor of this software available for purchase along with special modules tailored to unique needs, such as spectral simulation, NMR quantitation, to name a few. We have a site license for this software, freely available to all members of the campus community.
- Topspin This is the proprietary software of Bruker-Biospin which makes it rather seamless to use for data collected in our facility. Though you have to pay for commercial use, Bruker offers a completely free academic version with full functionalities. Currently available version is Topspin 4.1.1 (Caveat: data collected on older generation hardware may not work fully well with the Topspin 4.x family. It is advisable that you use Topspin 3.2 or earlier versions for such data sets).
