I'm trying to develop a method for ethanol via headspace. I am using Restek standard Residual Solvents #1 (34105) for the curve. My instrument is Agilent 6890 GC-FID with CTC PAL COMBI autosampler for headspace.
I ran residual solvent curve at high…
My manager is wanting me to add pass/fail system suitability assessments to my reports/processing methods. In order to limit my validation work and minimize the number of report templates that I am maintaining, I am trying to keep the report adaptive…
Won't start without a "Mating Connector"
I use RS232 to control the pump. The mating connector is not present,
The manual says short pins 4 and 5 and pins 8 and 9 of the IO port.
This results in ramp-up and fail.
What is the correct wiring for…
The only change we made was to install a DB-VRX column. It goes to the Agilent splitter mounted inside of the oven, then goes to the FID and MS. When I inject a sample, the FID and MS chromatogram peaks follow each other perfectly. After the injection…
Hi dmarchini, I have attached a guide for some recommended spares. The questions of cost to maintain any GC is a difficult one as the application and sample amount plays a major role. Replacement of the consumables will vary because of this. The guard…
GC and GCMS Supplies Recommendations for POIS 2020.pdf
Does anymore have./know of a macro for Agilent Enhanced Data Analysis Software (MSD Chemstation G1701FA F.01.03.2357) that enables the integration of a file (FID and TIC using the ChemStation integrator) to be saved so when you re-open the data file you…
Fortunately yes, so I am covered from that point of view The GC over here is a combo MS-FID machine which can be build to either MS of FID mode. It was in FID mode the last couple of days. Just rebuild the GC to MS mode, but I didnt perfom a full-on cleaning…
Hello Michael,
It's kind of a yes and no answer. Technically, the wavelength calibration will have failed because the strontium wavelength was not found - so you will see this if you check the results. Practically this is unlikely to impact operation…
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…
