Our lab just got a GC/MS-FID installed and we are using MSD Chemstation data analysis instead of mass hunter. However, is there a way to only integrate the GC-FID tic and not the tic used for mass spec? (I hope that makes since) Or is it set up to integrate…
I found the issue. I have "Hide duplicates" selected which prevents any additional Fails from being displayed. However, if I uncheck that box, there is a Fail in every row. This is a summary result, is there a way to make it display only once per group…
I am having difficulty with lighting the FID on my 5890 GC. I took apart the detector and cleaned as best as I could. I removed the jet and cleaned it on a sonicating bath. However, I am still unable to thread a syringe cleaning wire through the jet.…
Thanks for the response Matthais. The issue actually is that autotune sometimes fails to match EPA compliance criteria, and so it becomes necessary to manually tweak settings. I get that Agilent doesn't want lab techs carelessly messing around with quadrupole…
Hello everyone!
I'm currently working on a new (for my company) method of quantifying acrolein by GC-FID. I have a big problem with the appropriate weight of the standard. According to the article, I should add the right amount of acrolein to the CS2…
We have intention to upgrade existing Chemstation B version to OpenLab Chemstation C.01.10 version for 6890N and 6890A GC both equipped with TPI inlet (from VAR) and FID.
We are not sure if the upgraded OpenLab CDS able to recognise or support TPI inlet…
Hello Kang: Generally, and aging lamp would be the likely cause of this problem. The average life of the 8453 lamp is 1000 hours. Lamp performance and lifetime may also be affected by physical shock while the lamp is hot, igniting the lamp while it's…
Thank you sir for the best answers.

My new MPAES 4210 is just a year old. My plan is to Analyse metals for Lube Oil Condition Monitoring for mine fleets.
However, I find bit difficult to get the correct calibration…
