Hi,
Is your tune solution still OK? Maybe the probe is partially blocked? is the amount of mist in the quartz tube (connected to the torch) still the same as always?
Hello,
You could save the result set method as a new name, change it to external standard, and then reprocess just the standards and samples without the IS. I guess my concern is when using an IS in your samples, how it can be missing, that would…
HI Lars,
Yes, you can run the test on a VI. Specific to your system, a failing result could indicate a leak within the inlet or at any of the in-line connections of your GSV, so the results may not be clear without a point leak detector. I would also…
Hi Abdul,
From the picture, it appears your FID flame was extinguished. You can put a metal wrench or a mirror at the top of the detector to see if the exhaust contains moisture from the combustion, but a flat baseline at zero output usually means the…
Hi, I Have a similar problem With Openlab Chemsation C01.10 (201), with the same exception code ( c0000005 ). In my case there is not a change in the operating system, and the crashes seems random. Sometimes the softare shutsdown after a few hours running…
