(Sorry if a repeat, but need to get AMMRL in subject line)
Hi all,
A colleague at Valparaiso had an unhappy discovery today when his sample
and spinner came up wet on ejection from the magnet. The compressed air
got water somehow in it, and got through traps/filters into the
spectrometer and into the probe VT and spinner air. Fortunately we've
managed to avoid such nightmare scenarios here at UW, so I couldn't help
him from direct experience. He is in contact with Bruker, but I offered
to write to this group to see what advice hopefully some of you can
offer up for this. I did ask him if he observed oil in the water; he
didn't think so, but wasn't sure. He has hooked up dry nitrogen gas and
is blowing that through the spectrometer at normal rates, but hasn't yet
done more.
Appreciate any help that can head his way. I'll forward emails on to
him that come back just to the group. I will summarize if the responses
look like they'd be generally useful to the group.
