OK, first you need to increase your read time to at least 30 seconds, preferably 60 seconds. At 10 seconds, you are probably not seeing a peak for the 5ppb standard, which is why your calibration is failing (not linear). How low are you trying measure…
Hi Chris and Chelsea,
thanks for your detailed answeres. I tried the suggested fixes and so far did not managed to reestablish a connection between PC and ICP-MS also after resetting the IP address of the ICP-MS. The computer detects that there is a…
I have a 6890N GC-FID with a 7683 Series ALS and I'm using Agilent Open Lab (EZChrom Edition) software. The software won't trigger the autosampler to make an injection. A box appears on the screen with the message 'Incompatible Tray'. I have verified…
I have an Agilent 5975C MSD and 7890A GC that I'm getting a failed PING test on. I've done the troubleshooting I can (reboot system in proper order, reboot PC). I can ping the main IP but the ones going to the instruments fail. Please advise. PC is running…
Hello all,
We are running a GC/MS 5977A/7890B in our lab. Last week, after cleaning and reinstalling our Extract EI source, the system pumped down normally, but the GC gave a "Thermal Shutdown" message. Under status, it read "Thermal Aux 2 Open Sensor…
Hi carcuri13, This sounds like the heater sensor assy is failing. If the change is rapid in temperature , the thermal block is not capable of changing quickly. The heater sensor would need to be replaced. Regards James
Hii,
I'm looking for some help or suggestion to unlock my 5973 MS.
