I use a 8890 series GC with MSD, FID, TCD. Splitter from column to MSD & TCD or FID Multimode Inlet. 30m DB-5 Column. MMI 325C, FID 325C. 10 C/min ramp until 325 and hold for 15 min. 45 min run time It's 98% used for QC using TCD & MS. However there is…
Hi,
you should set your instrument to "user tune" in startup. But plasma correction is intended for a regualr setup. you can try to run it with your "special configuration".
Under "Startup Configuration" change the Ignition Sequence to "user tune…
Dear colleagues, I keep experiencing the same issue with not being able to open some batches in MH quant (5.1, G7201D / Version D.01.01 / Build 653.5), while others work just fine. I have integrated three batches that were all analyzed, and chromatograms…
I updated to newer version of Masshunter 10 & when I tried to re establish communication in Lab Advisor, It shows the 1260 HPLC components but Could not connect to QQQ . No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 192.168…
Many GC and GCMS installs do not have the items needed to complete the installation. GC and GCMS system installs rely heavily on site readiness and customers having all the material needed, like copper tubing, Swagelok® fittings, and regulators. This…

Hi GeorgiaDean were you able to solve your problem?
In regards to the FID not lighting, be sure to refer to the Troubleshooting an FID not igniting article in the Knowledge Portal.
Hello, i get unusual high signal on FID on 7890 and this message
"Front detector - Fault high voltage error"
What is happening? There is some part I can try to replace before call a technician?
Thank you
The struggles continue...
I've been having trouble with my 240fs, and I've arrived at a new problem state. The igniter lights just fine, and the burner head lights, but when I let go of the igniter button the igniter flame goes out immediately and then…
