Pharmaceutical raw materials and APIs are often stored and shipped in blue drums. Made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE), these drums are durable, reusable, and protect raw materials effectively from photodegradation. Handheld solutions based on conventional…
Is that the exact phrasing of the error message? I can't find any note like that in our documentation. Please check that the message is correct. Also look at what is documented in the Event Log and Sequence Log. Press [Logs] on the front panel of the…
Video Notes
This video only applies to the 5977 single quadrupole MSD.
Theory
An electron multiplier is a device used to multiply the signal of electrons on the mass spectrometer. The signal is sent to a digitizer, which produces the abundance seen…
Hello,
Depending on the CS version, if you look at the older Chemstation data, in the .d folder, for an injection you should see aqc.txt which is a text copy of the method used to acquire that injection. You might take a look at this if the CS is…
The Agilent GC liner isolates the sample-flow path from the metal walls of the injector block. Variable GC inlet liner geometry and packing materials characterize sample volatilization. Proper inlet liner selection is crucial to ensure all analytes of…
The new electronic pneumatic control (EPC) adapter works with the Agilent 8890, 8860, and Intuvo 9000 GCs. The adapter should be shipped with a new EPC module if you receive an EPC module with the new style adapter and still have an original style partner…
Hi danielchsny. We are a teaching lab and have seen no problems with the mass hunter 10 products and Windows 11. We are not in a situation where compliance is needed so that could be a factor for you. In my limited use so far, Windows 11 is pretty much…
