Hello lperry ,
The document below explains what that error is, essentially it could be that an ALS is not ready for injection, or some other piece of hardware connected to the GC.

Hi kalle-h,
Has the method worked well for you in the past? Any changes recently like column trims? Sometimes small pieces of column can get caught inside the modulator fittings and impede flow, which has negative effects on our data.
If your peaks…
Anyone have experience with a 7890B causing abnormal signal attenuation and more signal noise than normal? The attenuation problem - the detector's AIB signal has a maximum signal of ~ 69,000 uV however the signal now tops out at ~30,000 uV in the ChemStation…
Hi Carmen,
Visually check your column in signs of contamination of stationary phase. It looks like your column was too old. In that case you could just reverse the column direction, and put for for long term conditioning at room temperature, then condition…
Hello, I am running residual solvent testing on a product for my company and I am having issues with peak sensitivity. I am running this testing on a 7890/7697 GCHS-FID combo. I am tasked with coming up with a solution to this issue by only adjusting…
After a failed methamphetamine quantitation, it was noticed that the methamphetamine peak shape on our GC/FID instruments has been consistently poor or deteriorating through out a run. This has been happening on both of our GC/FID instruments (all 3 columns…
Good morning,
We have an Agilent 7820A GC-FID equipped with a G4567A autosampler.
In the middle of a sequence, the system gave the following errors:
ALS Failure State: Preparing Samples
