Hi galderson,
that's a typical "it depends" answer. For the carrier gas line I assume you use at least a 5.5 or even 6.0 gas quality? Anyway depending on the gas quality there are different concentrations of impurities:
Now you need to…
We are using EZChrom and two separate samples, so as to increase throughput and to limit solvent use. 7890A/7683/7683 ALS with dual FID. Thanks, Charles
We have been using an Agilent 7890B GC-MS with FID TCD equipped with an autosampler (ALS) for analysing liquid hydrocarbon samples. I would like to analyse gaseous samples of CO, CO2 and H2 in the future. Is it possible to manually inject gas samples…
I am new to Agilent forum, We got a new GC 7820 with FID detector. I am using Open Lab CDS chemstation Ver 2.2, if you upload video turorials for this version that would be really helpful. For your information I got about e familiarisation disk, but I…
Hello, I am looking for some advice on how to troubleshoot a small air leak in a 7010 triple quad. The leak is small enough that using an an air can at several of the check points can't detect a leak. So far I changed the side plate o-rings, vent valve…
Hello Guys, I am using Agilent 7890a GC with an FID detector. Last week I saw that there are few ghost peaks in my chromatogram, so I decided to bakeout the column. After baking the ghost peaks disappeared but now I see and increase in the peak towards…
In the ChemStation calibration table you can set Peak Qualifiers when using multiple signals. The ratio of the signals is calculated and compared for each compound. In the classic report this is then used also for peak identification. I tried building…
Thank you James, The software that we have, runs in a very old HP computer with Windows 2000 PRO. The equipment´s software only runs in this computer and it has had many fails lately. For it reason, we would like to buy an updated software that it can…
I’m having problems with my injector. It will move up and down to the seat with no problem but will throw an error and not move down to a sample vial. Errors “Command from COSY list rejected (EE 4080,3061)” “Needle down failed (EE 4018, 16)” Also if you…
I have GC-7890B -TCD -FID . I want to maintain the flow of gas sample to be same as calibration gas flow . Are there any option in GC to give same flow of sample and calibration gas or shall i use flow meter at the outlet of GC .
