Dear AMMRL,
I would like your experience on a reliable air compressor that would support solid state NMR's operation. Our current 7mm CPMAS probe requires 8 cu.ft./min at 80 psi. We are barely operating with the air supply we got from campus, which has recently reduced the pressure to save maintenance cost. If we are to get faster sample spinning probes in the future the air flow would need to be doubled at least. We are considering buying a compressor just for the NMR facility. If you are using a dedicated compressor for your NMR facility with solid NMR operation, could you let me know the model of the compressor, the specifications such as pressure, flow rate, pipe size from compressor to NMR lab, etc.? Info on location of the compressor (inside or outside of the NMR facility) and how many NMR instrument the compressor supports are also important. Actually any suggestions would be very useful to me.
Thanks in advance.
