Hello, I have a Agilient CP7420 column connected to the GCMS-QP2020NX also equipped with a FID detector and the column is connected to the FID (carrier gas helium 1mm/min). The column and the chromatograph are new, but the column was purchased from 3…
Anyone have experience with a 7890B causing abnormal signal attenuation and more signal noise than normal? The attenuation problem - the detector's AIB signal has a maximum signal of ~ 69,000 uV however the signal now tops out at ~30,000 uV in the ChemStation…
thanks for your answer. Regarding the ion source (EI): it happens that in a relatively new column, the abundance of the peaks of the same control that I had been injecting almost 3 weeks ago, has decreased from 5 x10^5 to almost 1x10^4. I tried injecting…
Hi Paul,
Thanks for the response. We are using Agilent 5183-4702 liner, HP-5ms Ultra Inert Columns (Part Number:19091S-433UI, 30 m, 0.25 mm, 0.25 µm, 7 inch cage).
We are running in Scan, absolute. I always use autotune, I didn't find a place to choose…
I have tried two new lamp and its all fail intensity test on the controller. Then I borrow a standard flow cell from another LC and I got min. intensity pass but fail average intensity. So I use Methanol to clean the flow cell window and flush the flow…
Hello Nbauer, thank you! I've tried to move the blanking nut at the outlet valve but the result is the same "test aborted by system" and, on the right "failed to comunicate with the module". All modules are connected so maybe could be a problem with the…
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, This issue sounds like the one described in KPR#:245690 of the OpenLab ChemStation Software Status Bulletin: https://www.agilent.com/cs/library/support/Patches/SSBs/M83xxAA.html#TTID:245690 I have copied the contents of the relevant entry below…
Dear Sir/Madam
Good morning. Currently, I am working on GC-MS, Agilent. I am able to run my samples as a batch samples. However, I am not able to quantify as well as prepare calibration curve using MassHunter. I followed the user manual but failed.…
