ALERT ! AV500 – PROBE SWAP – CHANGE IN SCHEDULE
The original schedule of Probe swap in this instrument has been advanced to today/tomorrow. Part of the motivation for this is the (good) news that the REVIVED DRX499 is almost ready for full scale deployment within a few days. We are placing a new probehead called TBI-1H,13C {X} – Z gradient in AV500. This probe […]

IMPORTANT NOTE : UPCOMING TRAINING ON MANUAL SHIMMING AND TUNE/MATCH
Currently, we have only two spectrometers equipped with the ATMA facility and Topshim functionality. Decidedly, both these features take the drudgery out of routine NMR run, especially short ones. If you are someone who come to totally rely on these features for your NMR runs, you do have to face the following cons : You […]

ALERT ! AV500 – TOPSHIM GLITCH
Topshim may tend to fail for low sensitivity lock solvent such as CDCl3, but it will work fine with solvents such as C6D6, CD3CN or MeOD-d4. We will be looking to resolve this by engaging the instrument in an intermittent fashion to minimize down time. An update will be posted once the issue is fully […]

ALERT ! AV500 – PROBE CHANGED TO TXO- 1H {19F, 13C}
Since the existing BBI probe had suffered a breakage in the VT dewar assembly, we were compelled to abruptly change the probehead to TXO- 19F probe. There was an original plan to do this probe swap by next week, in any case. Once the probe vitals are checked it will be released for regular use. […]
