I am using a Bruker Biospec 24/30, (100 MHz 1H, DBX, Pv3, XWIN), equiped with a 36mm litz coil probe, to perform basic T1 & T2 measurements as well as DOSY. The sample is water. Images look great, basic spectroscopy has a systematic error.
My prior NMR experience is in chemistry on solid state systems using the chemagnetics CMX II type spectrometer. The Bruker instrument has been sending pulses for 6 months after I made a few repairs and was dormant (cold but not pulsing) for 5 years prior.
Is anyone out there using this class instrument for basic research?What are 'good' spectroscopic parameters to use for quantifying the relaxation dynamics of water in various substrates?How best to adjust the gain for the 90 & 180, and set the automatic adjustments to agree with manual adjustments? (non-selective, whole volume is 32mm x 54mm)How does one choose an appropriate gradient strength for spoiling or crushing?
Thank you for reading. Comments, links to online resources and/or references greatly appreciated.

Selective 1H-13C NMR spectroscopy of methyl groups in residually protonated samples of large proteins
Selective 1H-13C NMR spectroscopy of methyl groups in residually protonated samples of large proteins
Abstract Methyl 13CHD2 isotopomers of all methyl-containing amino-acids can be observed in residually protonated samples of large proteins obtained from -glucose/D2O-based bacterial media, with sensitivity sufficient for a number of NMR applications. Selective detection of some subsets of methyl groups (Alaβ, Thrγ2) is possible using simple â??out-and-backâ?? NMR methodology. Such selective methyl-detected â??out-and-backâ?? NMR experiments allow complete assignments of threonine γ2...

A new method for site-selective screening by NMR is presented. The core of the new method is the dual amino acid sequence specific labeling technique. Amino acid X is labeled with (13)C and amino acid Y is labeled with (15)N. Provided only one XY pair occurs in the...

Selective 13C labeling of nucleotides for large RNA NMR spectroscopy using an E. coli strain disabled in the TCA cycle
Abstract Escherichia coli (E. coli) is an ideal organism to tailor-make labeled nucleotides for biophysical studies of RNA. Recently, we showed that adding labeled formate enhanced the isotopic enrichment at protonated carbon sites in nucleotides. In this paper, we show that growth of a mutant E. coli strain DL323 (lacking succinate and malate dehydrogenases) on 13C-2-glycerol and 13C-1,3-glycerol enables selective labeling at many useful sites for RNA NMR...
