Dear Colleagues,
It is very unfortunate that we are witnessing the end of an era with Agilent/Varian NMR exiting the business, as announced by Agilent on October 14, 2014. Varian developed and sold the very first commercial NMR Spectrometer back in 1952, and has been a cornerstone of the industry ever since.
Over the years we have seen IBM Corporation, Nicolet Instrument Corporation, General Electric, Oxford Instruments, and a few others enter and exit the NMR industry for various reasons. Of that group, Varian has certainly been the most significant in terms of longevity and contributions to the industry. I personally have been in this business for nearly 37 years, and I am saddened to see this happen.
Most of you are undoubtedly wondering where this leaves Agilent and Varian NMR users in terms of support, servicing and repairs. I have no intention of making this a commercial post to AMMRL, but I believe that it is very important to let all users of Agilent and Varian NMR spectrometers know that MR Resources has a continuing commitment to support those systems. Further, we are quickly making plans to expand the company significantly to support as many Agilent/Varian NMR systems users as possible. I am hopeful that this will help ease the minds of many people.
I would like to offer any help that I possibly can to my NMR colleagues in this critical time.
Best regards,
Jon Webb
