You should always consider that after re-igniting the lamp, it typically requires 60-90 minutes establishing a stable detector signal.
Based on this it does not always make sense and saves lifetime shutting off the lamp.
Keep constant flow 1.2 ml/min into the MS and do a Pulsed Splitless injection, tips in the help section of the Operating manual. Your system's diffusion high vacuum pump can only handle 2.0 ml/min maximum so do not exceed that ever.
If you have a 30m…
In Manual Tune, PFTBA closed, set the scan range to 10-100, then click on the spectrum scan button. The spectrum will show repeatedly in the middle window to the left at the long red arrow..
Beautiful. Does the spacing change with a different column flow rate? If this is 1.2 ml/min, for example, is it different with only 1.0 ml/min? If it changes and you did the inlet and column maintenance properly, the issue is before those. If it does…
How do you split the sample? Is it two different injection ports? Two different columns into the injection port? Or a two way splitter - purged or unpurged?
Are you injecting split or splitless? Please upload the acqmeth.txt file that is in Windows…
Hello,
Error 1213 typically comes with other errors that truly describe the issue, like the 2150 error you are getting.
First, check the cone orifices. Use a microscope or powerful magnifying glass. If they are clogged or salted over, clean. The opening…
This may be due to several factors. First of all, make sure that all plasma monitor connections and cables are properly connected and not damaged. Also check that there is sufficient gas flow (eg argon) to maintain the plasma. Check the cleanliness and…
Hello all,
I´m facing a Silicium contamination in ICP-MS analysis, I have used a 7800 ICP-MS.
I have digested my samples with HF, HCL and HNO3 and neutralized it with boric acid, after the analysis I have Silicium CPS has increased around 30%.

Hi Layden,
your source has died (normal ratio Amps/Volts should be starting at 1.9/2.7). Each year you will find a decline in Amps until it has reached 1.6, then it will give a red bar. In your case it's 0, so the filament is probably broken - your…
