Hello blairchall ,
I’m sorry for the delayed reply to your message. Do you still need assistance with this? If you do, please take into consideration the notes below. However, if the issue was resolved, could you please share what the resolution was…
We've been having issues with our 7890B gas chromatograph. We have it connected to a workstation running Windows 7 SP1 and OpenLab/Chemstation version C.01.07 [27]. We have a Gerstel MPS attached as a headspace sampler.
We have been trying to run…
We use Agilent NGA Analyzer GC based on 4 column configuration. Hayesep Q pre column, Hayesep Analytical column, molsieve column for TCD and one capillary column for FID. The H2S elution takes place in the Hayesep analytical column. But now a days our…
H ztarbs,
The air would not be for an inlet supply. This is most likely a detector support gas for FID. Check your method to make sure that the FID is not on in a standby method. FID air consumption is 400 to 450ml/min when on.
Regards
James
Hello, all you need to do in the method is to uncheck each of the FID flows, and uncheck the electrometer and uncheck the Flame on. With everything unchecked for the FID settings the software will ignore your FID. Under the Signals section you will also…
Hi silencer2008,
the 1 µL/s rule means the injection speed used for splitless injections, which is very slow compared to split injection where you want to inject as fast as possible.
Two interesting articles would be:

Hello,
I have a question about our GC 8860, which has been experiencing some problems since I changed the valve pressure.
Although it works well immediately after the change, if I don't use the GC for a few days, the first few runs produce larger…
I am currently having a flow issue with my 6890N GC(w/ G1888 HS). I am doing yearly flow checks. Hooked up a calibrated flow meter to DET exhaust and turned off all gases (pressure off, makeup He off, Air off everything). I then enabled them one at a…
Hi all,
I have been trying to change our 8890 GC carrier gas with a FID from helium to nitrogen. To verify the change went well I first prepared a test mixture of lab solvents (methanol, acetone, pentane, dcm, isopropanol), ran it using He, then ran…
Hi All, I need help to fix either baseline drifted down or change volume injection of water samples in GC/FID. Specifically, I am setting up a new GC instrument for analysis of methanol and alcohols in water samples with the following conditions: - Instrument…
