UPDATE ! DRX499 – WHAT WENT WRONG WITH THE PROBE ?
First of, the good news is that 13C channel of the probe is made to work normally after fixing the following problem. Here is a snap shot of the wobb : The 13C channel tune was broken, most probably because of excessive force used on the 13C tuning rod. We have been appealing to the […]

ALERT ! DRX499 – ISSUES ON 13C CHANNEL
We are aware of the tuning problems on 13C channel of the TXO probe and it requires a careful look inside the probehead. We will do this coming Thursday the 17th forenoon. If the fix is not a quick one, we will be placing the BBO-Z gradient probe in its place, at least temporarily. Please […]

ALERT ! AV500 – SYSTEM DOWN !…
Being in Seattle, I am sure you can identify, when I say “When it rains it pours ! “ Right after the replacement of the faulty circuit boards, we had a short power disruption yesterday and it took some reconfiguration in the console to bring things to normal. Today, I have found the BBI probehead, […]

ALERT ! AV500 – SYSTEM FUNCTIONAL WITH A POSSIBLE CAVEAT
The power fluctuation yesterday left a few issues lurking in the console, which are resolved now. The X-channel is working as expected but the 1H channel still has a detuning problem. Due to this you will notice rather noisy 1H spectrum – this is related to the wobb curve simply moving to a detuned state […]

UPDATE – AV301 : VT SYSTEM IN STABLE MODE
As mentioned, we have isolated the chiller that was freezing up samples when the probe heater was turning off. You can collect data at room temperature and above currently. We will update you when the low T capability is restored.
