You can block time and start using the instrument.  I will follow up with an important post about sample handling. NMR Facility Manager 3/23/3018

The VT system has developed an ice block problem which is being treated currently.  The system should be ready for regular use by tomorrow morning i.e. Friday, the 23rd. All the existing reservations for the day are canceled owing to this.   Please look for my confirmation about the instrument health before blocking time tomorrow. NMR […]

Although the VT instability might recur, as I write this, the system is stable and you can start using it. Please keep us posted as to any anomaly you see. Thank you NMR Facility Manager 3/6/2018

My current estimate is that, the system won’t be available for regular use until tomorrow forenoon. Notwithstanding the extent of the hardware issues with VT system, I am hopeful that I can provide a workaround of sorts tomorrow, at least for users who do not demand extreme temperatures. Stay  tuned. NMR Facility Manager 2/6/2018

Troubleshooting is going on as to the root cause of the temperature instability.  The down time will depend on the source of the problem. We will post an update with more news soon. NMR Facility Manager 2/5/2018

We have tested both 13C and 31P observe with 1H decoupling and the transient spikes that were observed earlier is not present anymore.   The hardware is working as expected and a mis-adjustment in the parameter setup is identified as the main cause of the noise. We shall keep a close watch, nevertheless. Please note that […]

Approximately by tomorrow noon, the 700 system will be released for regular use with the BBO Probehead, after preliminary tests and calibration checks are done.  The reservation calendar will be released for booking around that time. NMR Facility Manager 2/21/2018

I am still troubleshooting the cause of the failure to record acquisition data and hopefully can say if its a quick fix or not, in a follow up post. Please Stay Tuned NMR Facility Manager 2/21/2018

The 700 system will host a CP-MAS solid state setup starting next Monday, 5 Feb ’18. It might be at least couple of weeks before the system is reverted to solutions NMR mode. Please look for updates to this effect via this channel.  Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns. NMR Facility […]
