Hello Michael,
It's kind of a yes and no answer. Technically, the wavelength calibration will have failed because the strontium wavelength was not found - so you will see this if you check the results. Practically this is unlikely to impact operation…
Please check your data files and make sure the solvent peak is completely excluded . I have found that some data files I cannot detect ANY analytes of interest in Optimizer, even though I can identify them in standalone Unknowns Analysis. Without fail…
Hi, We observed an error during autotune of QQQ GCMS as "Peak width gain failed", When it was occurred and what is the reason for the repeat error, Autotune was not completed due to " Peak width gain failed".
Please suggest the recommendations and possibility…
jhagel is correct, do not change PE (Yellow) to PTFE (black) seals in round headed pumps (1290 Infinity and Infinity II as well as G7014C). Both seal types have benefits and downsides: While the black seals are generally better when using them with reverse…
Hi Everyone, I'm operating our Cary 3500 and I am helping with an assay being put together based on competitive binding. Because of the competitive binding, the primary and reliable peak *decreases* in size rather than increasing as the concentration…
Hello,
I have a G6545 QTOF / 1260 HPLC system that came with an HP Z440 workstation with Windows 10 as part of the purchase from Agilent. The workstation is ~ 3 years old. The instrument was running normally over the weekend -- when I came back, the…
I have a 5977B MSD that is experiencing a vacuum failure after a scheduled shutdown for renovation work in our facility. Work was completed and now we are restarting the system. At first we though it was the roughing pump, but we have bypassed the remote…
It is great you have such a nice experience with your results, however results accuracy is a matter of hardware robustness and method setting, not software. I your insist on this, I can recommend you to do the following steps:
1- get the licence number…
Im running on an old GCMS with headspace sampler. Its been failing during runs recently. The logbook shows that the oven is not ready at run time for each sample. After about 10 samples it just stops collecting data. The headspace continues to cook all…
Also, please make sure that a default printer is configured in Windows. If no default printer is configured, the following problems may occur: - Printing of a report preview will fail. - the 'Copy To Clipboard' menu will have an error - the 'Custom Report…
