Hello,
I'm having the same problem with the overwhelming amount of orange highlighting for samples where the qualifier peak was not found. I tried the suggestion above of enabling "Ignore Peaks Not Found" in the method and re-applying it to the batch…
The tune evaluation was written for an orthogonal ion source (SS/Inert/Extractor) system, atune or etune, running helium carrier gas between 0.8 and 1.4 ml/min, at 230° C ion source and 150° C quad temperatures. It may not pass using other temperatures…
Hello,
I am not sure which Agilent software (CDS 2.x , Chemstation, EZChrom) you are using, but most customers use third party software for simulated distillation and other RT vs BP petrochemical calculations. If your need is simpler, you could do…
Thanks a lot.
Also I found that not all parameters (column width, labels) can't be changed in report designer. I changed them in xml template manually. Is there any description of functions and variables to change some report layout?
In the earlier 2 posts, I have discussed about 1. The merits of automated sampling and 2. Validation of automated dissolution system . Thank you for giving our team warm response for these blogs. We received many queries regarding automated sampling on…
Hi Lisandro,
if your analysis looks fine, go for it. The mentioned increase in off-mass background can affect your signals (not predictable) on other masses, as it is electrical noise.

Hi,
rinsing with a higher concentration of HNO3 sounds like a plan
you could try to sonicate the T-Piece where the istd is connected. Often this is a source for contamination. Anyway the Pb is not a problem in this low concentration. And your main…
That video is a bit hard to see. There's no visual evidence of overheating nor staining on the rest of the analyzer/quad radiator. The factory gold is not a separate applied foil. That needs further investigation. I would recommend contacting Agilent…
