In MSD Chemstation, you can specify which signal to use for quantification: TIC, Target Ion, or GC Signal (for GC detectors like FID, TCD, etc.) Go to the Calibrate menu and select Edit
Compounds. On the Compound Table Identification tab, look for the…
Hi,
I plan to attempt some SimDist analysis in accordance with D2887 on my agilent GC-FID. I was hoping that I could achieve this without additional software (i.e. just through manual manipulation of the data acquired by Chemstation), but apparently…
Hi community
we getting error message (Configuration system failed to initialize. Chemstation will shutdown now) when we trying to launch Chemstation ,we try rename conf. files in C:\Chem32\1 but that not work.
I appreciated any help .

Hi everyone.
We have a 8890 Agilent GC with nickel catalyst and FID detector. We would like to use hydrogen as carrier gas, but we don’t know the right flow rates, because the manual is indicating flow rates only for using helium as carrier gas.
For…

I am working with an Agilent 8860 operating a DB-624 UI (30m x 0.25mm x 1.4um) column with nitrogen carrier gas and split inlet (20:1). The system was shut down for approximately 1 year, and…
Hi there, I noticed recently that the ECD back signal on Agilent GC 7890 (using it for trace gas analysis) is oddly spiking (while the FID is a straight, consistent line). It never used to do this. I just recently changed the inlet septum, could this…
Hi Community
I have an Issue on one of our GC-FIDs 6890N. I have large Peak Tailing, especially on the back of my chromatogramm:
What i already did:
- New Column
- New Septa/liner
- New Gold Plate
- Cleaned Inlet and Detector
- Re…
Our micro GC 990 is Natural Gas Analyzer B and B extended version with 3 channels (PoraPLOT U, 6-meter CP Sil 5 CB, CP-Molsieve 5A). We are having trouble with data processing. We have 2 calibration gases from Agilent (Natural Gas mixture and Universal…
Hi!
I still need help yes, please!
- On the machines (GC system and Injector) it just says HP6890 (see photos attached)
- The PC we employ is an old Windows XP running one, that was used to run the GC-FID before we want to control it with the serial…
Hi, I would suggest to test the same without column installed to the FID. If problem looks similar check for leaks at the FID gas lines and clean the FID. If not clean the inlet and replace the split vent line and filter. Maybe try a new column.
