Hello I have an ICP-MS 7900. My Check Performace fails all the time. I washed the entire system and replaced the chambers and cone again. The same applies to oil changes. Nevertheless, my Check Performace fails. Can anyone help me with this? Or someone…
Hello, This issue sounds like the one described in KPR#:245690 of the OpenLab ChemStation Software Status Bulletin: https://www.agilent.com/cs/library/support/Patches/SSBs/M83xxAA.html#TTID:245690 I have copied the contents of the relevant entry below…
Hi!
I run 200.8 on the 7850 ICPMS for drinking water.
I calibrate with 10, 50, 100, 250, and 500 ppb for Cu (among others). I would like to calibrate up to 2,000 or higher for Cu - but every time I try to calibrate above 500, my CCV and LFB fail…
Hello
We have an agilent ultivo qqq and last week when trying to run a checktune it failed giving a message saying calibrant bottle is empty or nebulizer is clogged. Nevertheless the calibrant bottle is definitely not empty, and the nebulizer also doesnt…
thanks for your answer. Regarding the ion source (EI): it happens that in a relatively new column, the abundance of the peaks of the same control that I had been injecting almost 3 weeks ago, has decreased from 5 x10^5 to almost 1x10^4. I tried injecting…
Hello, I have a G1321B that showed errors during the OQPV. The FSE changed the flash lamp Iand the Intensity test is OK arround 10000 counts buen the and Raman ASTM Signal/Noise fail. I want to know if there are another test to do.
Hello,
I am expeirencing the same issue after having to reload E.02.02.1431. The quant report prints as one job and the chromatogram and the spectra reports (I'm printing a detailed report) print as a second job.
I've done as ron_tackett mentioned…
Hi all,
I have been trying to change our 8890 GC carrier gas with a FID from helium to nitrogen. To verify the change went well I first prepared a test mixture of lab solvents (methanol, acetone, pentane, dcm, isopropanol), ran it using He, then ran…
Hello vanphu, Thanks for the model information. On power on, the motor needs to move the pump to specified positions and if it fails to do so in a range of motor steps, it can give the error you mentioned. We advise to leave the pump stroke in auto to…
Hi All, I need help to fix either baseline drifted down or change volume injection of water samples in GC/FID. Specifically, I am setting up a new GC instrument for analysis of methanol and alcohols in water samples with the following conditions: - Instrument…
