UPDATE ! GG500 – AUTOMATION QUEUE RESUMED – CAN SUBMIT SAMPLES
Dear Users An improved automatic shimming algorithm via IconNMR is now in place. This should help, but it is part of the process that I need to complete, where solvent specific files need to be updated. That work will take place in coming days. Your resolution should be better, but if you see increased […]

ALERT ! NEO500 – TOPSHIM MALFUNCTIONING
Topshim is not performing optimization although the software goes through the motions. We are looking into it and will give an update as and when feasible. The shim system is alive i.e. you can shim the sample by hand if all else fails. We will keep you updated. NMR Facility 7.11.25

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

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 […]

NOTE – GG500 : PROBLEM ACCESSING MULTIPLE BUDGET TAGS
We are aware of the software glitch, that does not allow you to choose budget/Worktags from the pull down menu in the Automation window. It only displays the first Worktag from the list. We are working on a solution and will update once it is resolved. NMR Facility 10.30.24
