Update: FID output signal was very low even when trying to ignite, so we checked the interconnect spring and noticed it was shorter than the ones in the other GCs (not that close to the detector base; dont know if it was always like that or something…
Hi,
We are struggling to solve an issue with an Agilent 8860 GC-FID we purchased in 2019. It is used to quantify propane in headspace samples that are manually injected. It is possible but unlikely that some of those headspace samplings result in the…
Tip for other users that may encounter an FID Ignition problem: try blowing on the FID when it is trying to light. If the FID lights - there is an issue with the gas flows. It is best to use a flow meter like the ADM Flow Meter for gas chromatography…

When attempting to submit a sequence in EZChrom, it fails to submit and returns this error message:
This happens each time a sequence is submitted. Any help would be appreciated!
