I have a 7820A GC connected to a 5977B MS. When I submit a sample, it injects and runs as normal at first. Near the end of the run, an error message pops up that reads "Attempt to download method to GC failed." Additionally, when I check the logbook,…
I want to check Total hydrocarbon by FID without identifying the hydrocarbon species . Agilent suggest to give me DB-1 15m, 0.32mm, 0.10u as a non polar column to elute all HC without separation as one peak . Does this column will work for Total hydrocarbon…
Hi everybody, firstly, excuse me for my english. Please I need a video about how to install AJS and MMI in qtofms 6545, because we have a tune problem when we use MMI, (tune failed). To autotune the system, we need to remove MMI and install AJS. Any suggestions…
Hi Ive got a Varian 979 leak tester, however after a few runs the fine leak test does not work. If I use "Read standard Leak" then after it fails to switch on fine leak test. Can you please point me in the correct direction. Thanks John
Hello,
From the error code this look like error 5 with red light 2 and 4 on. Axis movement failed. Either something is blocking the X movement or there is a problem with the sensor. This will require repair. Please call the response center to get…
Hi silencer2008,
the 1 µL/s rule means the injection speed used for splitless injections, which is very slow compared to split injection where you want to inject as fast as possible.
Two interesting articles would be:

Hello, Our lab has a GC-MS (7890B/5977B) system which uses MassHunter version B.07.01 SP1. We recently installed a FID on the system to run FID analysis separate from the MS. We are finding that MassHunter is not as suitable to use for FID analysis in…
I have an agilent GC-FID 6890 i use for TPH and PAH of soil samples yet i want to calibrate it for Oxygenates in gasoline and Aromatics don't know how to go about it
Hello pathagun ,
First thing you can double check is if any bubbles are present in the solvent lines between the solvent bottles and the degasser or the pump. You can also check if the solvent inlet filters in the bottles are blocked as these can…
Most likely the octopole PCA is failing. You could try dipping it, but if it happens again after redipping the board is failing and needs to be replaced.
