      <description>&lt;br&gt;&nbsp;The departmental Bruker AvanceIII-400 has some problems. First, Fluorine-19 tuning has become unreliable. Second, shimming also has become unreliable.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Bruker personnel installed patches to tuning and shimming and these are working again.&lt;br&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;br&gt;Some users are confused over tuning and what it does. Some probes appear not to need tuning whereas the newer systems spend some time tuning.&lt;br&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;br&gt;&nbsp;THere has been an intermittent error on the Bruker Avance III while running samples overnight. Many samples were not run. Last night, several samples were left in the queue, and not run.&lt;br&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;br&gt;&nbsp;There have been some problems with the Mercury 300:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;On Friday, September 18, a brass hose connector came loose, causing incomplete ejection of samples and some broken NMR tubes.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Today, we spent some time looking over the spectrometer. I found a loose solder connection on the proton pre-amplifier. This will be fixed in-house.&lt;br&gt;</description>

Only windows users within the department were affected and could not access the booking schedule and training signup. This has been fixed.&nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Files from the Mercury 300 and 400 were not being copied for ~24h, an errant space in the script was removed and files are being copied again.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Update&nbsp;September 10/2009 1 PM.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Bruker files now transferring!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;br&gt;Because the Data drive (where all user data is stored) was reaching capacity, I copied all data to a new RAID system and installed in the server. All the data is OK, but the system did not boot.&nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;[6:15 PM most systems are now back online. The server had major hardware problems]&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;[7:15 PM all spectrometers working, all data stations working]&lt;br&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;br&gt;There is a problem with the tube switch selector on the probe in the Varian 400; the probe will be sent for repairs. We plan to swap the probe on Thursday August 27th, thus the spectrometer will be unavailable that day.&lt;br&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;br&gt;This morning, a tube that was cracked on the bottom was found on the sample changer rack of the Mercury 400 this morning. Because it was unclear if the crack was there before or after the sample was run, as a precautionary measure, the probe and upper barrel were washed and cleaned.&lt;br&gt;</description>

      <link>http://www.chem.utoronto.ca/facilities/nmr/NMRBlog/ApplicationNotes/Carbon-dec-fluorine/index.html</link>
      <description>&lt;br&gt;&nbsp;Carbon spectra with fluorine decoupling has been added to the VnmrS-400. This used garp decoupling to decouple from -100 to -175 ppm (the usual organic range). To change the decoupling window, set the "dof"&nbsp;parameter appropriately.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Click on the CarbonDECFluorine button on the experiment tab. There is also Phosphorus and Boron with Fluorine decoupling, which are PhosphorusDECFluorine and BoronDECFluorine, respectively.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Note that since the probe is only two channel, there is no proton decoupling; we need a H/F/X triple probe to decouple both proton and fluorine.&lt;br&gt;</description>
