NEO500 USAGE PRACTICE – REMINDER
Like all instruments, NEO500 also has a walk-on usage policy where the software allows only a maximum of 60 minutes time during the day for a given sample. The software automatically queues longer experiments to so-called ‘Night Mode’ and runs them overnight. We are hearing that some users are stepping around this limitation by programming […]

UPDATE – NEO500 : ATMA issue resolved
Check the quality of your data if it was processed by the system before 3 pm today. If it is not satisfactory, please resubmit it. ATMA was non-functional until 2.45 pm. But the default tune/match might have been good for some of the samples. If that’s the case, the data collected should be OK. NMR […]
