NOTE : DRX499 – PROBE CHANGE THIS FRIDAY
We will swap the existing TXO-13C,19F {1H} Probe with the BBO-X {1H}-Z Gradient probehead, coming Friday, the 3rd of August. As we all know by now, over and above 13C use, this probe can serve the needs of 31P and other users as well, with much better sensitivity that is provided by the AV500 instrument’s […]
