The mass calibration/check for the quadrupole is failing across all isolation widths. Mass delta on 322m/z exceeds limits.
We system tuned a few weeks ago. Can someone please outline the troubleshooting workflow for this type of issue (where to start…

I want to check Total hydrocarbon by FID without identifying the hydrocarbon species . Agilent suggest to give me DB-1 15m, 0.32mm, 0.10u as a non polar column to elute all HC without separation as one peak . Does this column will work for Total hydrocarbon…
A follow up question about this, if it ever occurs again. When the instrument errored out it prevented us from even initializing the instrument properly. Is it possible to auto reference even if the unit failed to initialize correctly?
Hi silencer2008,
the 1 µL/s rule means the injection speed used for splitless injections, which is very slow compared to split injection where you want to inject as fast as possible.
Two interesting articles would be:

Hi joonseok
Put the samples in a separate sequence to the wash runs. In the sequence parameters for the samples, select the post sequence option to switch off the lamps. Run the sample sequence and queue up the wash sequence from the Run control menu…
When the tuning is done at 3200 (+) everything is fine. When I change it to tune at 1700 (+) the masses are reasonably accurate. After it gets to the third mass (620) it appears that the entire spectrum shifts by about 1.5 AMU and the tuning fails. There…
Hi Everyone,
Due to random readings of my samples, i ran wavelength and photometric accuracy test. Both of them fails, do i need to replace the lamp or is it because of the wavelength drive gear?
thanks.
The optional high vacuum gauge has a cable between the gauge and the electronics. It is either disconnected or the gauge has failed.
See page 125 and 126 in the 5977B Series MSD Operating Manual for instructions on how to turn it on and off.
