This morning I swapped the TXI probe in Paris for the BBO. The BBO probe should give better results for 13C-detected experiments such as C13CPD and C13DEPT135. 1H-detected experiments will suffer a bit, though I doubt anyone will be able to tell. The other advantage of the BBO is that it is better suited for VT-NMR and we can do "exotic" nuclei. In fact, I'm going to do some 14N this afternoon.
The BBO is a bit shy of lineshape and 1H and 13C sensitivity specification, but we'll get that worked out, soon. Another important task is to make 3D shimmaps of this probe. With the shimmaps in place, we'll (hopefully) be able to shim the probe up faster after swapping it in.
