Hello all,
I made a custom excel report template for GC-MS/FID data I'm working with in MassHunter B.10 and I'm having an issue getting the template to report the user selected "best" from the spectrum ID results list.
Here is how I've added the table…
Before first use: Soak in 100ppm sodium calibration standard for 24 hours to condition the probe With use (submersion in the liquids under test) the response time will become slow and it might be difficult to calibrate. If this occurs the probe needs…
Thanks for the response Matthais. The issue actually is that autotune sometimes fails to match EPA compliance criteria, and so it becomes necessary to manually tweak settings. I get that Agilent doesn't want lab techs carelessly messing around with quadrupole…
Hi! Recently we baught GC 8890 with tandem detector fid-scd(detector for sulfor detection 8355). In this case limit of detection of sulfur compaunds is very high (ppm level). We need to meet more low limits of detection of sulfur compounds. Can we dismount…
Thank you sir for the best answers.
I have another question to ask.
My new MPAES 4210 is just a year old. My plan is to Analyse metals for Lube Oil Condition Monitoring for mine fleets.
However, I find bit difficult to get the correct calibration…

From your description (instrument configuration fails), it sounds like you will need to remove and re-install MH Acquisition. You might try a repair of the software.

I am using MassHunter Qualitative Analysis B.07.00 to analyze FID data. I have extracted the FID chromatograms, identified the peaks and annotated them. But nothing happens when I try to print reports. Can anyone help me figure out how to generate the…
Thank you very much! I'll make sure to have those items correctly. Our instrument (5975C MSD) has been in idle condition for over an year but under vacuum up until recently I started it again. My real issue is autotune fail. The tune fail symptom is Ent…
