I'm trying to come up with reasonable tests of probe performance for all channels by simulating conditions at which arcing is most likely to occur.
For those tests I usually read voltage of the incoming wave on the RF line using directional coupler with a 50dB attenuated pickup and oscilloscope after running an "experiment" pulsing at the power and duty cycle that simulates the condition to be tested. If the waveform looks nice and square - there is no arcing.
What experiments should I look into? OK for 1H I'd pick TOCSY with the longest mixing time we use.What about 13C, 15N, 31P?
How do you do this kind of testing for solids probes?
How do you test fitness of gradient coils?

Studying protein components of large intracellular complexes by in-cell NMR has so far been impossible because the backbone resonances are unobservable due to their slow tumbling rates. We describe a methodology that overcomes...

Three- and four-frequency nuclear magnetic-resonance probes have been designed for the study of small amounts of protein. Both "HX" (1H, X, and 2H channels) and "triple-resonance" (1H, 15N, 13C, and 2H) probes were...

Nitrogen-detected CAN and CON experiments as alternative experiments for main chain N
Abstract Heteronuclear direct-detection experiments, which utilize the slower relaxation properties of low γ nuclei, such as 13C have recently been proposed for sequence-specific assignment and structural analyses of large, unstructured, and/or paramagnetic proteins. Here we present two novel 15N direct-detection experiments. The CAN experiment sequentially connects amide 15N resonances using 13Cα chemical shift matching, and the CON experiment connects the preceding 13C� nuclei. When starting from the same carbon polarization, the intensities of nitrogen signals detected in the CAN or...
