Dear NMR Users<\/p>\n
Though embarassing , I must admit that this is the shortest life span of an NMR instrument that I had the privilege of handling as a Facility Manager thus far, which is of course entirely my own making.<\/p>\n
Just after I announced the new instrument’s identity and the rationale behind it,\u00a0 I realized that the ‘D Series’\u00a0 of Bruker instruments are pretty much becoming dinosaurs and this is a vintage that we all want to forget.\u00a0 DRX499 being almost the last one from this generation we are happy to say good bye to ( the other being the DPX200 instrument).\u00a0\u00a0 So it was a rather poor choice of name for the new instrument starting with ‘D…’ again\u00a0 (perhaps a subconcious hangup of mine,\u00a0 getting stuck in the past :-\\ ).\u00a0 Sorry for that.<\/p>\n
Happily the situation is rescued by the recommendation from other sources that decreed the instrument be called gg500<\/strong>\u00a0 or GG500<\/strong>.\u00a0\u00a0 The rationale given to me is that they stand for the ‘first letter of the first names’\u00a0 of Faculty who were instrumental for this transition i.e. Prof. Gary Drobny and Prof. Gabriele Varani.<\/p>\n Moving from the Embarassing to the Happy,\u00a0\u00a0 the hardware part of setting up the new console is complete as of now.\u00a0 I will be optimizing the instrument starting now.<\/p>\n Once the calibrations, initial shimming, etc.\u00a0 are done,\u00a0 I will post more relevant technical updates.<\/p>\n Thank you for your time.<\/p>\n NMR Facility Manager<\/p>\n 7\/13\/2021<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dear NMR Users Though embarassing , I must admit that this is the shortest life span of an NMR instrument that I had the privilege of handling as a Facility Manager thus far, which is of course entirely my own making.
