Last week I asked the group to provide the spectrometer / human
ratio for their lab. There were 35 responses, all of whom I would like
to thank. Several asked me to summarize the results. Here are the
results followed by my origional post.
The results are as follows
S/H # of labs
0.0 - 0.4 0
0.5 - 0.9 0
1.0 - 1.4 0
1.5 - 1.9 2 **
2.0 - 2.4 16 ****************
2.5 - 2.9 3 ***
3.0 - 3.4 7 *******
3.5 - 3.9 1 *
4.0 - 4.4 3 ***
4.5 - 4.9 2 **
5.0 - 5.4 1 *
5.5 - 6.0 0

I am trying to get another staff position for my NMR lab. Currently
my facility has 5 (soon to be 6 and possibly 7) FT NMR
spectrometers all of which are my responsibility. The facility has
one position (mine) and a half position for a part-time technician.
therefore, based on 6 instruments, the spectrometer/human (S/H)
ratio is 6/1.5 = 4. I am interested in these numbers from other
university labs so I can make a case to my faculty that our S/H raio
is unacceptably high and that a full-time position is needed. Would
you be so kind as to provide this data? Of particular interest to me
are responses from Canada however all data will be useful.
