NMR Users,

This message is critical for West Campus NMR users (Malott users can probably ignore it) ....

As some of you have noticed and reported there have been errors on Yosemite (the open access 400 MHz NMR in SBC 1004).  The motherboard of the workstation (computer) operating this instrument is fried, meaning that we will have to purchase a new computer and configure it to work with the instrument.  This task will be a priority for us, but it will take time.  Fortunately, Jeff Aube has agreed to allow 1D 1H on his instrument ("BigSur2") which shares the room with Yosemite. 

SO - If you are a trained Yosemite user who needs access to BigSur2, there is mandatory training/account set up.  Rather than trying to make appointment I will be in SBC 1004 on Thursday 11/14 from 10-11:30 AM and 2:30-4 PM and Monday 11/18 from 10-11:30 AM and 2:30-4 PM.  I will meet with any trained Yosemite users, either individually or in small groups of 2-4.  I'll make accounts on BigSur for you and show you how to collect 1D 1Hs.  I'll also explain the access rules for non-CMLD/SCC users and encourage you to use our sample courier service to the cryoprobe in Malott for your 13C NMR.  It should take less than 15 minutes. 

The other major issue is access to old data.  I sent an email on listproc with detailed instructions regarding our work-around to get access to old data.  Contact me if you did not get that email or have questions.


In conclusion, Sarah and I appreciate your patience and understanding as we work through this issue.  Hopefully our work-around will suffice for the time being and not inconvenience you too much.

As always, let me know if you have questions, concerns or comments.
