UPDATE : NMR LOGIN BACK TO NORMAL – RESERVATION SYSTEM STILL HAS ISSUES
Users should be able to proceed as usual. The reservation server is still not functioning correctly, at least as far as I could test it from my office desktop. I will post an update on this as and when available. NMR Facility Manager 12/7/18

IMPORTANT NOTE : UPCOMING TRAINING ON MANUAL SHIMMING AND TUNE/MATCH
Currently, we have only two spectrometers equipped with the ATMA facility and Topshim functionality. Decidedly, both these features take the drudgery out of routine NMR run, especially short ones. If you are someone who come to totally rely on these features for your NMR runs, you do have to face the following cons : You […]

AV700 and DRX499 UPDATE : PLEASE READ – SOLUTIONS TO SOLIDS TRANSITION – PLANS
The AV700 NMR spectrometer will be receiving a new Solid State MAS NMR probehead within the next few weeks. I will announce the finer details of this piece of equipment later. Please note that, currently the instrument is transitioned to solid state NMR mode to confirm its functionality before the new probehead is installed and […]

ANOTHER UPDATE ! AV500 : TOPSHIM IS STILL NOT RELIABLE
I apologize for jumping the gun and announcing that Topshim is working ok. The latest I checked with a CDCl3 sample, I had poor signal to noise issues which I need to investigate further. Alas, for the present the shimming has to be done by hand, I am afraid. But, I am planning to tackle […]

UPDATE ! AV500 – TOPSHIM FUNCTIONALITY IS BACK
You can use the Topshim shimming routine on all deutero solvents as before. We will keep a close eye to see if anything is compromised again but, tests thus far indicate that the functionality is back on track. Please post a message in the log as soon as you notice something amiss and thanks. NMR […]

ALERT ! AV300 : X – CHANNEL MALFUNCTION
The X-channel i.e. 13C and 31P, etc. is not functional. We have identified the most probable cause to be a faulty circuit board but it’s fix may take some time. Most probably a replacement unit will need to be obtained and that might take a few days. Since the 1H is the predominantly used nucleus […]

UPDATE ! DRX499 – CURRENT STATUS
Since there is still quite a few loose ends to tie up before the merged 500 MHz console is declared open, the existing DRX499 is back in operation as before. After this note, I will proceed directly to introduce the merged console to you, once it is confirmed to be functional in every respect. Thank […]

PLEASE READ ! DRX499 – IN REINCARNATED FORM
Many of you might have noticed an anteroom on the right, when you enter the NMR lab Room : 37 (it has a room number : 33, Bagley Hall). The more inquisitive among you might also have seen an NMR instrument in that space. This instrument originally belongs to Prof. Gabriele Varani of our department […]
