2 A Quick Live Demo (more on this later ) 2

3 What is VeriPulse? Fully automated probe and system testing package Introduced as standard feature in VnmrJ 4.1 (Nov 2013) Currently shipping with ProPulse, 400MR and 400MR-DD2 systems available for VNMRS & DD2 consoles soon! Features all tests needed to perform Acceptance Test Procedure (ATP) for OneNMR, Dual Broadband and Indirect Detection probes Uses standard test samples supplied with system to do tests Utilizes ProTune and/or autosampler, if equipped

4 How Does VeriPulse Help Me? Makes the task of optimizing the system calibrations as simple as checking a few boxes and clicking a few buttons Fully tests and verifies system performance in accordance with ATP Delivers outstanding shimming, effortlessly Provides high quality report listing all test results with clear pass/fail can be used for system qualification Tests run automatically under automation ( the Study Queue ). Tests can be interspersed with routine automation, or scheduled to run at predefined time or on a periodic basis Bottom line: VeriPulse helps to keep your system performing to its potential, maximizing data quality! VeriPulse optimizes your system and proves it! 4

6 Fully automated probe installation and testing All tests needed to complete ATP Lock frequency and Z0 1D gradient map calibrations Full 3D shimming Pulse width and decoupling calibrations for 1 H, 13 C, 19 F, 31 P and 15 N 1 H and 13 C lineshape and resolution tests Sensitivity tests for the big five nuclides above Gradient profile and recovery tests AutoTest B 0 drift and 1 H lineshape stability Streamlines and regularizes system installation, significantly reduces installation time

7 VeriPulse: from zero to ATP in seven easy steps 1. Select or create a probe file to work with 2. Launch VeriPulse 3. Set targets for the probe 4. Select ing and plotting options 5. Select all tests 6. Place required standard samples in sample changer 7. Press Run selected tests now... button

8 VeriPulse delivers outstanding shimming, effortlessly VeriPulse fully automates the process of shim optimization, even from zero RT shims (e.g. installing a system or probe from scratch ) Leverages and combines existing (and improved) shimming tools: 3D shimming, ProShim, 1D gradient shimming. With VeriPulse, this is all done with minimal operator intervention (a handful of button clicks). Saves literally hours of experienced engineer/spectroscopist time!

10 High-quality reporting Attractive, professionallooking report Clear pass/fail for each test Clear overall pass/fail Report can be used for system qualification 400-MR and ProPulse ATPs now use VeriPulse customer can test system EXACTLY as Agilent does

11 Maximizing Data Quality VeriPulse tests & calibrations can be run between routine measurements Tune up system

12 Let s Look Back In On The System

13 Summary VeriPulse optimizes the system AND proves it Full shim optimization from any starting point, even zero RT shims Complete suite of tests and calibrations for ATP. Going forward, 400-MR and ProPulse ATPs will use VeriPulse. Intuitive, easy-to-use interface (single GUI, no hidden options) Simple, clear report gives clear status of each test and overall pass/fail. Can be used for system qualification
