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 […]

UPDATE : AV300 – PROGRESS WITH UDRIVE MIGRATION – BUT NOT READY YET
A few more lose ends to tie up before you will be ready to access the UDRIVE, similar to AV301. But the needed work will be done remotely without disrupting the regular use of the spectrometer. I will post another heads up message when we say it’s ready. In the interim, your data collection protocol […]
