I am running on an Infinity 1260 II Ultivo LC/QQQ and have a problem when running check tunes. Every time I run a check tune, I get an out of tolerance result where the only parameter out of range is the gain factor. It fluctuates between being out of…
Hello, im having a problem with a 2d GC using the Deans Switch system. Its a 8890 GC with 2 FIDs. The problem is that, when cutting peaks from the 1st dimension to the 2nd dimension (2nd column), all peaks on the 2nd dimensions get split into 2 peaks…
Hi all, I am using a GC 6890 with split/splitless inlet to analyse reaction products. However, a problem has recently happened when the GC is running. I have noticed the appearance of spikes in the baseline of the FID detector. The spikes appear occasionally…
Hello, I need to archive a file but the file do not archive. It appears the message "Last archive operation failed"
How can I know why the archive failed and how can resolve it?
Thank you
Hi, I have a agilent GC 7890B with FID. currently i am a facing a problem regarding this GC, problem is like that - all gases supply is ok, no leakage is found in detector portion. i have cleaned the FID & Jet but flame is not burning. So kindly suggest…
Hi all,
I'm using a 0.18 mm HP-5 GC Column on a Shimadzu GC-2014 connected with a FID. I'm looking to get new ferrules (the old ones had been passed down from previous users) and wanted to discuss some options. I tried using some 0.5 mm graphite ferrules…
good day!
tell my please..
I have the air generator and his out pressure consist 52 psi, and and air consumption is 1000 ml/min. the EPC module GC 7890b work in rang 55-80psi. I have 2 detector FID. Tell my - with this generatorom may be worked ?…
yes, it's the purged 2-way splitter. Bottom is column entry, then detector 1 is FID, detector 2 is qtof. (switching FID and qtof position doesn't change anything)
We had 3.7mx0.15mm to qtof and 1mx0.15mm to FID with constant flow 0.8 ml/min for a 1…
