Dear Open Access users,
I would like to remind everybody that it is not allowed to swap positions of the spinners (the plastic things that hold the NMR tube)!
Why this is important:
If you have a sample say on position 6 on the left spectrometer and you want to transfer it to the right spectrometer to measure 2D and 13C spectra, you cannot move it together with the spinner (as it actually happened today). This is mainly because, as a consequence, position 6 from the left spectrometer would be left without spinner (--> position is basically blocked). Also, on the right spectrometer, the sample would sit on a position (maybe 6, maybe another number), but the corresponding spinner will be still in the rack on the wall (--> huge confusion).
You might find this complicated and anoying, but please trust us that this is the best way to maintain order and to avoid confusion of samples (nobody wants their precious sample being accidentally discarded by somebody else because two samples were swapped).
Thanks for your understanding and have a nice evening!
Best wishes,
Linn
