Dear NMR Managers,

This inquiry is primarily for university Chemistry dept. facilities.

Our instrumentation is aging wrt/ modern instrumentation, and I was
wondering how many of you have instruments in your facility which can
routinely do one of both of the following:

1) 19F-1H double resonance (HETCOR/COSY).

2) 19F-1H (simultaneously) decoupled C-13 NMR.

I have a user who _really_ needs the above capability. #1 would simply
require an H-F dual probe. Assuming that my Omega-500 could use the observe
channel for one freq. and I could use the BB-decoupler to pulse the other
freq. I'm 90% sure that it would work on my Omega-500 (BB on both channels),
but I would appreciate hearing from any Omega owners who are doing H-F
double resonance experiments.

I would need a third channel to do #2 above, which would mean a complete
console upgrade (unless anyone has the hardware to add the 3rd channel to
my 293-based Omega-500 that they want to sell me 8-).

PLEASE E-Mail me your responses, and indicate whether you would mind having
your facility listed in a summary to be posted later.

Thanks to all for your responses...I need this information rather quickly.

Best Regards,

Rich Shoemaker
