UPDATE ! AV700 – BBO SOLUTIONS PROBE IN PLACE
Dear Users Please note that the instrument is open for regular use after a brief interruption to investigate and optimize the VT system. Along with that task, we have now placed the Broad Band probehead in the magnet to give you the best possible senstivity for all X-nuclei, starting with 13C. As a refresher : […]

UPDATE – NEO500 – SYSTEM BACK TO ROOM TEMPERATURE PROBE
Hello All It will take more time to get the Prodigy Cryoprobe operational. As we speak, we are trying to get an additional failed component repaired/replaced as effectively as possible. To address the uncertainty of Prodigy’s return, we have once again installed the triple resonance TBI – 1H,13C,BB-Z gradient probe and the NEO500 is system’s […]

UPDATE : NEO500 – DELAY IN DEPLOYING PRODIGY CRYOPROBE
All Although all the needed components have arrived, we are still having issues in achieving the needed vacuum in the system (without which, the cryoprobe cannot function). The issue is being investigated. At the extreme, by tomorrow, the system will revert to the TBI room temperature probe and will be opened for routine use, while […]

UPDATE ! GG500 – ICON QUEUE GOT RESET (MYSTERIOUSLY )
Here is the latest. Someone or ‘some process’ reset the earlier Icon NMR session and restarted a fresh one. Upshot is that, the earlier submitted experiments are washed away. Please resubmit your experiments, if yours is part of the cohort that got aborted. NMR Facility 6.31 pm 5.15.25

ALERT : GG500 – AUTOMATION QUEUE WILL BE REFRESHED TOMORROW
Dear Users The graphical IconNMR interface is behaving abnormally such that, a new user is not able to login to queue samples. Even the administrator account cannot take control of the queue currently. But the already submitted experiments are proceeding without an issue. To avoid a disruption to the already submitted runs, including the long […]
