Standard NMR Test Log

The following tables represent probehead summary (this includes all of the following info), pulse width, resolution, sensitivity, and lineshape data that should be periodically determined for one's NMR.  

I use the first few rows in each table to list the Bruker specs and the Bruker engineers' data determined for our instrument before it was shipped and after initial setup.  This makes it very simple to compare the current data with initial specs.

My actual tables are printed landscape on 8.5" x 11" paper with sufficient space in the columns to cover the 11" portion of paper and enough additional rows to fill the 8.5" section of paper.  

The tables are tabbed and placed in a hard three-ring binder (labeled "Standard NMR Test Log") with copies of the Bruker specs and the original engineering data in the front.  Spectral data is dated and added to each section as it is collected.  

A separate probehead summary sheet is utilized for each different nucleus.
