ALERT : PRINTER IS FUNCTIONAL AGAIN
Users can either print directly from Topspin or use the ‘plot’ program to direct print requests to the Laserjet printer, as before. Please keep facility staff informed if you notice any anomaly.

ALERT : NMR PRINTER OUT OF ORDER
An irrecoverable hardware problem has been found with NMR room printer. Until we procure an alternate solution, users are requested to do their printing in their lab/office printers. You can create printable .jpg or .pdf images of the spectra from the NMRJuicer computer and send the same to your email account OR store in a […]

AV301 UPDATE : 1H {13C} PROBE WITHOUT VT VARIATION
This old double resonance probe cannot do VT variation. The lineshape as it exists is usable for the routine runs but needs further optimization. Since this probe will be treated only as a temporary resource, we are releasing the instrument as it is, to reduce the deficit of dysfunctional instruments to one i.e. AV500. PLEASE […]

AV301 is now available
The AV301 now has the dual channel probe with 1H and 13C and a 2D lock. Please use shim file stdhcd. The proton and carbon macros are not currently set up to reflect the new probe. You will need to tune and match this probe for your experiments.

AV500 : UPDATE – DAMAGED HARDWARE
An issue has been identified with the RT shim stack and this makes the instrument unusable currently. Since repair of this part is not feasible in house, we have to wait for a replacement of the same. Users will be updated on that front when more information is available.
