Your controller is going in Auto Tune
Autotuning condition is shown when the controller has delivered an output power level higher than a typical value, but the pump is still not reaching full speed value.
It does not matter if it is a normal start…
I got a data sheet for my Agilent 7890 FID detector. The stated linear range is 10x7. This range I think should mean that from 1% down to 0.1 ppM the detector is linear for Tridecane. I figure concentration-wise in splitless mode - that works out to be…
Hello, We are using Agilent 7890B GC/FID with Headspace sampler. There is a problem in FID unit of the system. In FID parameters, Temp is 220 C, H2 fuel flow is 30 mL/min, Makeup flow (N2) is 25 mL/min, He flow 1 mL/min. These are setpoints and actuals…
Hello! I followed this tutorial part D Linked Dual GC Signals 1 aliquot /cfs-file/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/152/0020.DualTow7890EnvMH.pdf to sample 1 aliquot through both the front and back autosamplers, both columns, to both…
It is a capillary, USP 401 The gas chromatograph is equipped with a flame-ionization detector, maintained at a temperature of about 260°, a splitless injection system, and a 0.53-mm × 30-m fused-silica capillary column bonded with a 1.0-µm layer of phase…
Hello howard_sanford ,
I tried clearing the preferences for IDBrowser, and it did work when I used the old PCDL, but the "m/z" column in ID Browser did not show anything. So, I did it again and for the second time, the m/z of features showed up, but…
The universal VUV detector has sensitivity better than an FID and similar to an MSD while allowing data acquisition across 12 different wavelength bands to focus on selected compounds of interest. It can be mounted directly on top of an Agilent 7890 or…
Paul thanks for your reply. I have looked for information about these traps because I have two RMSH-2 traps and I thought about using one for the carrier gas (He) and the other for the FID hydrogen. Anyway, I'm going to buy the hydrogen trap. Thanks …
Hi there. I need your help. My gas sample is including hydrocarbons, CO and CO2, I was told I should used TCD detector, I used but there is no peak. I believe I need to use both FID and TCD detectors at same time and for that I need connector series between…
In my experience, usually when a method fails to download to a 7820A GC it means that one of the zones on the GC is in a faulted state. This does not always get reported in the instrument actuals in ChemStation, so the best way to double-check this is…
