Hi all,
I am currently troubleshooting a leaky 1260 infinity II HPLC-SFC-ELSD and want to carry out a leak test in the utility program, but i could not find a clear, detailed description on how to do this. Could anyone direct me to the correct resource…
Hi there, I noticed recently that the ECD back signal on Agilent GC 7890 (using it for trace gas analysis) is oddly spiking (while the FID is a straight, consistent line). It never used to do this. I just recently changed the inlet septum, could this…
the abundance of ion 69. I rechecked the source and it doesn't look dirty. then I did an autotune it stopped on the width mass axis of the second quadrupole.
Finally, after 2 or 3 more attempts, I ended up completing the autotune with an abundance of…
Hi Community
I have an Issue on one of our GC-FIDs 6890N. I have large Peak Tailing, especially on the back of my chromatogramm:
What i already did:
- New Column
- New Septa/liner
- New Gold Plate
- Cleaned Inlet and Detector
- Re…

I am working with an Agilent 8860 operating a DB-624 UI (30m x 0.25mm x 1.4um) column with nitrogen carrier gas and split inlet (20:1). The system was shut down for approximately 1 year, and…
Any special procedures to prepare for cross-country shipment a 7890B with SS, PP inlets, heated valve oven, and TCD-FID? Also a 7697A with 100-vial tray?
Turning off the systems on Friday night that need to be ready to go on Monday morning is not recommended. It can take quite some time for a GC/MS to come back up to operational after being shut down. Even cooling the temperatures all down and then heating…
I have a Cary 3500 and running Cary UV Workstation Software 1.2 and Windows 10
I downloaded the new Cary UV Workstation Software 1.3 via the Agilent SubscribeNet.
first I ran the systemPreparationTool.exe
That finished without issues.
Then I ran…
I have a gas-phase reactor system that uses the FID of a 7980A to analyze the product mixture. Currently, I have a pressure buildup (up to 30 psi - the carrier gas delivery pressure) when the system is stationary. When the gas sampling valve actuates…
