Hello Agilent community,
I have recently been 'Recovery Test in GMP' of Openlab 3.4 (Build 3.4.0.242) in a standalone environment using the Windows Hyper-V feature.
During the testing, I found the following two issues
First, a warning message…
I have proposed system from agilent 7890B to check high purity gases . system consists of TCD , PDHID and FID . me question is do you think that system is complicated and i have risk that if any fault happened the whole system will be down . How to guard…
Dear Community
I am using a GC/FID from Agilent with Openlab CDS. The GC/FID has to columns (front and back) which gives a slightly different retention time for the same substance. I use both lines, one for the measurement and the other for the control…
I don't think it would have a problem as long as you're not trying to connect with both software platforms at the same time. I've seen other customers do similar things (GCMS/FID, using MSD Chemstation for MSD work and GC Chemstation for FID work).
I work in a small, environmental lab. We test aluminum levels in serum using ICP-MS. We can run batches of 250 samples at a time. We dilute 500 microliters of serum to 5 ml using 0.2% HNO3. We calibrate using 1, 5, 10, and 20 ppb Aluminum std. At the…
Hello, Just to add on to dnprulz 's reply, the expression that he provided will work in OpenLab Custom Calculator and should perform what you are looking to do. However, if you want the pass/fail logic to be set on the report template then you will want…
We have OpenLab 2.1 (with content manger) running our GC and LC systems. We have successfully been running 2 x GC and 6 x LC systems however this morning on two of the systems we can see the following error:
Acquisition
Failed to connect to the…
Update: I checked filament and looks fine. Weird when switching from EI to CI source the tune fails 3x in a row and then passes every time after that. This happened twice after switching source. The tunes that pass though do not seem like everything is…
Good morning,
We have an Agilent 7820A GC-FID equipped with a G4567A autosampler.
In the middle of a sequence, the system gave the following errors:
ALS Failure State: Preparing Samples
ALS Failure Code 945 : Autoinjector back tower plunger…
Hi Tom, we were told to upgrade to version 10.1 and it solved this issue. However, we found different strange behavior of manual integration. General integrator sometimes fail to integrate peak while manually integrating. What I still don't understand…
