Hi Alex,

I did not have young tube experience, but with a regular 5mm tube. I took
the probe off, used a plastic tube (longer than the magnet, the tube inner
diameter should larger than the nmr tube, but outer diameter should not be
too large, the tube is flexible, but not too soft, you can bend the tube
from the bottom, slowly move up to catch the tube and then move up to catch
it from the top. You need another person with a flash light to shine from
the top, then you can see the tube from the bottom of the magnet, the
person can also help catch the tube when it comes out. Flash light is
magnetic, the person should hold it tightly.
That is my experience.

Good luck!
Fu
