Hi danots, Thank you for your reply. We have tried exchanging the ceramic tubes (upper and outer) several times, but this does not do the trick. Also the columns have been replaced frequently, as we customize the application a lot being R&D. The SCD works…
Recently I noticed a larger pressure fluctuation during the injection process for my 1220 autosampler. I tested the system using Lab Advisor's Pressure too High test and it failed stating that there is a clog. I switched out the needle, needle capillary…
Hi everyone, I am trying to install ChemStation on my Windows 10 Pro computer and I am having some issues. This issue comes up each time I try to configure my instrument and I am not sure why. The HPLC I use is 1260 series from Agilent and has a VWD,…
071619 Hi, This question is related to my previous question about method development. The method I devised seems to work well, in that a calibration standard run after my curve is set up yields results that I expected. There is virtually no interferences…
Hi, We observed an error during autotune of QQQ GCMS as "Peak width gain failed", When it was occurred and what is the reason for the repeat error, Autotune was not completed due to " Peak width gain failed". Please suggest the recommendations and possibility…
Hi, folks! Suddenly, after about 3 years of shutdown and re-run, our Agilent Q-TOF 6530A has failed. I have problems with signal stability, the signal intensities over time looks like "saw"/waving at all masses.
Here is a typical mass calibration (same…
Hi, In Masshunter 10, for a 6470 QQQ is it possible to have your worklist display the time that each injection will start and finish, or failing that, the time/date that your worklist is due to complete. Thanks - John. ross
