Dear Colleagues, apologizing for frequently wondering but I first faced this problem. GC produces a signal without turning on the FID Detector!? Please look at the attached photo. After turning on the detector and then conditioning the column while the…
Recently, we connected the column (CP7429) to TCD and FID using a Y splitter. However, there is no signal response on both TCD and FID after manually injection of the calibration gas (containing H2, CO, CH4, C2H4, C2H6 in CO2). The carrier gas is Ar.…
For many FID methods, 10-20 Hz data rate is sufficient unless you're doing a fast method of some sort. You need enough data points to define the peak correctly and not get any spectral tilt. Typically 15-20 points across the peak is enough.
Hi Everyone
This is my first post here in this community. And I really hope to get some ideas to fix my problem, since i'm getting slowly desperate!
So here's my problem: We have some really bad contamination/peaks on all our polar Systems:
I…
Our micro GC 990 is Natural Gas Analyzer B and B extended version with 3 channels (PoraPLOT U, 6-meter CP Sil 5 CB, CP-Molsieve 5A). We are having trouble with data processing. We have 2 calibration gases from Agilent (Natural Gas mixture and Universal…
Hi,
I get this Front Inlet: Septum purge Pre shutdown warning with Error code: 20401202 with cause showing EPC module is going into a shutdown. This warning showed up immediately after the maintenance was performed to change the septum and SSL liner…
Hello vtpolywood ,
What type of GC do you have, if I may? If it's an 8890 for example there are some Diagnostic tests built-in that you can run on the Cool On Column inlet. Have you recently changed gas tanks (whether carrier, FID fuel, air or makeup…
We have a GC-MS instrument and it works well. Recently we installed a new column which connected to FID detector. Now we want to run a method with GC-FID/MS. However, we observed the peaks only in MS spectrum without FID spectrum. We need help with the…
Hello,
Our Headspace sampler 7697A Leak test failed. Leak test failing at the stage 1 off the Restriction and Pressure Decay Test.
Going from there, the sample probe was replaced as well as the pressurization solenoid valve but without success.

Hi,
I plan to attempt some SimDist analysis in accordance with D2887 on my agilent GC-FID. I was hoping that I could achieve this without additional software (i.e. just through manual manipulation of the data acquired by Chemstation), but apparently…
