Hello mkaadan ,
What I meant by a "low" failure rate (notice the quotation marks), is that it is likely not an indication of a leak, as that would result in a lot more samples failing, or potentially all of them. By no means I wanted to minimize the…
I am trying to run a Injector Precision PV test using the conditions described in the software: caffeine standard (125 ug/mL) and HP ODS Hypersil 5 um, 125 x 4 mm part 7982618-564 . The method uses 85:15 Water:ACN mobile phase at 0.8 mL/min. The test…
Can SimDis data processing be performed manually (i.e. without the aid of additional SimDis software produced by Agilent or a third-party) with a GC running Chemstation?

Hi, I have a GC/MS (8890 GC with 5977b HES MSD) that is also configured with an FID and PDHID. I would like to create an FID/PDHID-only method, where the MSD remains off the entire run and does not collect data. I haven't figured out how to do this so…
l have lc 1260 pump type G1311c and it is in residual mode due to installing a degasser board on the pump board. I used the Lab Advisor program to update the firmware, but the process was not successful and messages appeared. Connection failed instrument…
Hi everyone. I have a problem with my 8890 GC-MS as I do not have pressure in the inlet. The issue began during the IT outage, the EPC module turned off itself hence all heated zones turned off as well. When I managed to re-establish the connection I…
Hi ISH, yes all was fine with column installation and pump down was efficient. The issue seems to be with the entrance lense offset - I loaded a previous tune and managed to run an autotune however it is failing due to too high 503/502 ratio. I've seen…
Hello Paul, it looks to me that there is too much acetylene in the gas mixture coming to the burner. This is causing the carbon build-up.
I'd suggest you first remove the absorption cell from the holder and clean this by soaking in dilute nitric acid…
HI Lars,
Yes, you can run the test on a VI. Specific to your system, a failing result could indicate a leak within the inlet or at any of the in-line connections of your GSV, so the results may not be clear without a point leak detector. I would also…
