Hello!
I am inquiring about a Turbo-V 3K-T High Vacuum Turbo Pump which unfortunately failed due to a bearing problem. I would like to receive information and advice on the following issues:
1. Is a repair kit available for the Turbo-V 3K-T pump?…
Hello,
That error usually means that the EM grating motor has failed and will need to be replaced. You should call Agilent support for an onsite call.
As for how can you continue working without the FLD. I assume you have other detector(s) on this…
Hello!
It would be very good to get step by step instruction and definition of each row on Splitter calculator and other calculators to configure our system.
The system uses SCD and FID detectors.
Target is to get ratio 3:1 between SCD and FID for…
Dear team,
I'm running 8890 GC-FID using back injector and front Detector FID. When, we uploaded sequence table, there's message appearing that sequence table rear injection isn't detected. Can anyone help to advise what to do with that?
Thanks…
My knowledge of GCs is extremely limited. Currently we analyze for n-pentane only. The program was already set-up when I started working here.
Yes, an FID is present
