The Agilent LabAdvisor software shows the Xe lamp life time, but in percent, not in hours. This is because of a fairly complex calculation, taking the amount of high or low power flashes into consideration. The higher the number, the more worn the lamp…
Hello, Your question brings some additional questions for me. You mentioned that your rescans are failing eventhough the product is correct. Is your method robust enough. You should not see many fails in a batch if the instrument is properly operated…
hello,I had the same problem as you to make the sum of impurities, I searched in the forum and I found the following formulas, to be verified because I am not an expert in formulas but it worked
ListImpND (Type string, scope signal) If (Count(CurrentSignal…
I was never able to do glycols via headspsce in the past. The only way I was able to do them was direct injection and FID. 5890 using megabore column. Maybe you could try SPME.
Hello Andy, thanks for your answer. It would be possible, however we would like to automate our analysis as much as possible. A manual calculation of the concentrations, depending on the initial weight, would make us go a step in the wrong direction.…
This is a 5977A that was built in mid-2015. How many runs on it? . High Energy Dynode (HED) related, Electron Multiplier (EM) related, signal related, or electronics related.
The first thing to try is to go into manual tune and turn OFF the HED. I'd…
I made a new calibrant solution and did a full system tune. The system tune passed. However when I switched back to my low 1700 m/z range and did a mass cal/check tune my positive failed but my negative did not.
I am running GC 6890 (FID detector) alongside G1888 headspace.
I had noticed 4 of my later eluting peaks got increasingly worse in terms of shape and reproducibility. After running blanks (no injection and also blank vials), it seemed like the cause…
