Shimming suggestions using various brands of NMR tubes.

There is a great article written back in 1991 by Prof. Gerry Pearson which is still recommended reading for anybody seeking to study in more detail the methods of shimming a supercon NMR. One important aspect of the article to note, which we occasionally receive questions about, is the shimming technique to eliminate spinning side bands. Quite often, Grad Students ask us about this problem, only to find out that they are shimming only the Z and Z nth order shim packs and disregarding the X and Y and combination nth order ones! With out further ado, I would like to give you the link so that you can read this interesting article yourself.

You can find it at the University of Iowa site : http://nmr.chem.uiowa.edu/manuals/Shimming-GAP-NMR-magnet.pdf

Good luck with your shimming.
