Cryoprobe maintenance and HVAC

Yesterday afternoon our Bruker engineer completed the annual cryoprobe maintenance.  The cryoprobe has cooled to operating temperature and is available for use.  Please submit your samples for Siena to the in-rack in Malott B042 or SBC 1004.

Unfortunately, as is the trend this summer, there is an HVAC problem in Malott B042.  The room temperature is creeping up to 85 F, which is the maximum recommended room temperature.  I have shut off the console to Paris to cool the room and will continue to monitor the situation closely.  If the temperature in the NMR room goes above 85 F, I'll have to shut down Siena, as well.  Obviously, I'd like to avoid shutting down this instrument because of the backlog of samples due to annual maintenance. 

I apologize for the inconvenience.
