The peaks look similar, essentially the same sensitivity. I'd look at the background on your older runs and the background now. It could be that most of the previous background was one, two, a few, ions and they're gone now. Was that small but still noticeable…
That is one failure mode of Platinum Resistance Thermometers. It can happen one degree to the next higher degree. The heater/sensor must be replaced, part number G1099-60107.

Hello,
My concern with chromatographic blank subtraction has to do more with the chromatography shifting in RT. When that happens even if the blank peak is smaller than the peak in the standard or sample it can shift enough to cause artifacts on your…
Yup, this seems like it'd be a super useful feature, except you'd have to make sure your CPS are adjusted for every batch after you calibrate. It would be nice to be able to just use the calibration curve for your batch
Hi, I don't think it is a fault of the purity of the solvent. This is normal when using acetonitrile. If you are using an iso pump to dose your reference masses, increase the flow rate, as the gradient rises. Another option is to change the mobile phase…
