Dear All,
I intend to do a survey on the time employment of the NMR spectroscopists in
Structural Analysis Labs. Interesting infos are:
Industry or University? (Research Labs.):
How many instruments:
How many spectroscopists in the lab:
Average no of compounds/day (short description of the job is welcome):
Quantitative vs. qualitative results:
Routine activity (cryogens refill, tests and calibration of instruments, DB
management ....) and eventual extra duties:
Any other info you think that may be relevant:
Who else are more adequate than AMMRL people to answer all those questions.
Since at the end I will post the results this may be useful for all of you,
so please answer. All the best
Stelian

Dear All:
Now that cryo-probes are becoming more ubiquitous, I have been asked a
specific question, to which I don't know the answer. Is it practical to
have a cryo-probe equipped spectrometer that is used in an "open-access"
lab (for use by "routine" users)?
Of course, the sensitivity benefits are well-known for large-molecule
work, and for trace analysis of natural products; however, as far as I
know most (or all) facilities with these probes only allow the NMR
experts to use them. If my impression is wrong (i.e. if there are labs
in which the average user has access to cryo-probe-equipped
spectrometers), I'd like to know about it.
Please reply directly to me if you can shed light on this issue. More
and more people are asking me about the practicality of these probes in
various settings, and I really don't have any answers. I will, of
course, post a summary of the informative responses that I receive.
Thanks in advance,
-Rich Shoemaker
