Hello vanphu, Thanks for the model information. On power on, the motor needs to move the pump to specified positions and if it fails to do so in a range of motor steps, it can give the error you mentioned. We advise to leave the pump stroke in auto to…
Hi Carmen,
Visually check your column in signs of contamination of stationary phase. It looks like your column was too old. In that case you could just reverse the column direction, and put for for long term conditioning at room temperature, then condition…
What should you consider when selecting gases for your new GC or GC/MS system?
Which gases will you be using?
Did you c onfirm that gases available are a supported configuration for installation ?

Hi, We have agilent 6545 qtofms. The quad tune in neg mode is failing due to failed wide peak width for 1633 ion. any suggestions to troubleshoot. please see the image. Thanks
Hello I have an ICP-MS 7900. My Check Performace fails all the time. I washed the entire system and replaced the chambers and cone again. The same applies to oil changes. Nevertheless, my Check Performace fails. Can anyone help me with this? Or someone…
Hello,
I am expeirencing the same issue after having to reload E.02.02.1431. The quant report prints as one job and the chromatogram and the spectra reports (I'm printing a detailed report) print as a second job.
I've done as ron_tackett mentioned…
Hello, I am running residual solvent testing on a product for my company and I am having issues with peak sensitivity. I am running this testing on a 7890/7697 GCHS-FID combo. I am tasked with coming up with a solution to this issue by only adjusting…
Hi Paul, thank you for your reply. I can't attach a full autotune report due to it failing mid run. I can however add the text file it generated.
