Dear Community
I am using a GC/FID from Agilent with Openlab CDS. The GC/FID has to columns (front and back) which gives a slightly different retention time for the same substance. I use both lines, one for the measurement and the other for the control…
I don't think it would have a problem as long as you're not trying to connect with both software platforms at the same time. I've seen other customers do similar things (GCMS/FID, using MSD Chemstation for MSD work and GC Chemstation for FID work).
Are there electronic checks that can check to make sure a filament isn't failing because of an electronic issue? We had a filament die, which isn't too surprising considering it was nearly ten years old (teaching institution, the instrument sees periodic…
Hello,
For awhile now, I've been having issues with my resolution axis "passing" for masses 25 and 26 in no gas mode. I have done many cleanings and new tuning solutions. Can anyone explain what is causing this continual failing and what I could do…
Hello Agilent community,
I have recently been 'Recovery Test in GMP' of Openlab 3.4 (Build 3.4.0.242) in a standalone environment using the Windows Hyper-V feature.
During the testing, I found the following two issues
First, a warning message…
Good morning,
We have an Agilent 7820A GC-FID equipped with a G4567A autosampler.
In the middle of a sequence, the system gave the following errors:
ALS Failure State: Preparing Samples
ALS Failure Code 945 : Autoinjector back tower plunger…
Hello, Just to add on to dnprulz 's reply, the expression that he provided will work in OpenLab Custom Calculator and should perform what you are looking to do. However, if you want the pass/fail logic to be set on the report template then you will want…
I work in a small, environmental lab. We test aluminum levels in serum using ICP-MS. We can run batches of 250 samples at a time. We dilute 500 microliters of serum to 5 ml using 0.2% HNO3. We calibrate using 1, 5, 10, and 20 ppb Aluminum std. At the…
