AV500 – SHIM UPDATE
Some users had complained that they are not able to get good line shape for their sample and Topshim software did not help, apparently, either. My experience today has been different. The spectrum shown below is the result of a successful shimming operation with Topshim, for running this reasonably demanding 1D spectrum that suppresses 95% […]

ALERT ! : DRX499 – SYSTEM DOWN – HARDWARE MALFUNCTION
The receiver amplifier is suspect and is giving rise to glitches along the spectral range. Some users had already reported the ‘wobb’ curve showing peculiar noisy features that is also traced to this cause. The replacement/repair options of the board are being explored and we will try to fix this as soon as feasible. Until […]

AV301 : NOTE On PROBE CHANGE
Following the stuck sample tube incident, a troubleshooting attempt of the ATMA – PABBI probe led to an unfortunate damage to the probe and it is being sent to Bruker for repairs. This is the reason behind the hurried replacement in this instrument, with the TXO-19F {1H,13C} triple resonance probe. If you have further questions […]
