Hi all,
I am currently troubleshooting a leaky 1260 infinity II HPLC-SFC-ELSD and want to carry out a leak test in the utility program, but i could not find a clear, detailed description on how to do this. Could anyone direct me to the correct resource…
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 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, 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.

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…
Any special procedures to prepare for cross-country shipment a 7890B with SS, PP inlets, heated valve oven, and TCD-FID? Also a 7697A with 100-vial tray?
I have a Cary 3500 and running Cary UV Workstation Software 1.2 and Windows 10
I downloaded the new Cary UV Workstation Software 1.3 via the Agilent SubscribeNet.
first I ran the systemPreparationTool.exe
That finished without issues.
Then I ran…

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…
Turning off the systems on Friday night that need to be ready to go on Monday morning is not recommended. It can take quite some time for a GC/MS to come back up to operational after being shut down. Even cooling the temperatures all down and then heating…
