ALERT ! GG500 – iPROBE NOT READY YET
Dear Users Fresh from the expensive repair, the iProbe is not delivering what it promised. Although you might see Topshim seem to complete it’s job, digging deeper, it is clear that the shimming is not at an acceptable level. Since we have a narrow window of warranty for such repairs, it is imperative that we […]

APPEAL – NEO500 : LET US KEEP THE HOUSE CLEAN !
Dear NEO Users Appeal 1 : the problem of “Orphaned NMR Tubes” Please take a moment to behold the ‘status quo’ of samples near the instrument that I recorded yesterday.

NEO500 – REMINDER – PEACEFUL COEXISTENCE !
Dear NEO500 users Owing to the true ‘walk-on’ nature of the NEO500 SYSTEM, we may not be compelled to access the NMR Reservation Page for this instrument.
