Hi.
So ive had a very high sample with Methanol (around 8000 mg/l) and now i still have contamination around 500 mg/l in my blanks. Ive tried injecting IPA and replaced the syringe. Any other tips? Ive also pumped up the oven/column tempature to a…
When trying to close a connection on an instrument with an active single run or sequence the OpenLAB CDS software will usually give a message that it will close connection when the runs are finished. Today when trying to close 2 instruments on the same…
Hello,
3-way valve is a good idea, but unfortunately all I had was several 5180-4160 Tee, 1/8 in, brass, and several 0100-2144 Ball valve, 1/8 inch.
So I decided to make following setup.
In the setup below I am using He as carrier gas and N2 as…
Hi all
Apparently the engineer who did the mainboard replacement made a mistake by plugging the MCGV cable to the SSV cable, this made the valve failed to switch (EE 2040.2) and electronic fuse of SSV (EE2049.0) error always appear. It was out of my…
Hello Agilent Users,
Im missing a feature in Openlab since day 1. How do I override and start a run if the GC is not ready ?
For example: the FID temperature is set at 250°C in the method and the actual temperature is at 220°C (it is still heating…
Hi,
My baseline is around 8pA in standby state. H2 is coming from a tank and I can rule out contaminations in the gas source because the gas line is splitted with T piece: one is going to the FID EPC and one is going to the inlet PCM. H2 is the carrier…
We have a brand new Agilent 6495 LC/TQ system with a MS 120 rough pump. We vented and shut off the instrument for building maintenance over the weekend. On startup today, the rough pump receives power (the lights turn on) but eventually fails to engage…
Greetings Agilent Community,
Some MassHunter 10 difficulty. I am using the same Quant method that I have used multiple times in the past to process data. This time, however, I am experiencing an error while building my calibration curve. In the Methods…
