500-1 is open, supporting walkup experiments in Searle. It’s outfitted with a different probe to provide better 13C sensitivity and capabilities of observing 31P, 11B, 195Pt, and more. Spectra are shown for a standard 10 mg/mL sample of carvone to provide a visual basis for comparison.

Good news, everyone!
Thanks to the Dean of the PSD for providing funding, we’ll be upgrading 400-2 with a new console, probe, and autosampler! In mid-2020, we should see the instrument transform into something akin to 400-1, but with a more current-model probe and a 60-sample carousel on the SampleCase autosampler.
