After a failed methamphetamine quantitation, it was noticed that the methamphetamine peak shape on our GC/FID instruments has been consistently poor or deteriorating through out a run. This has been happening on both of our GC/FID instruments (all 3 columns…
It looks like theres a problem with the back inlet/back autosampler - the gc does not recognize it anymore - but it seems to be defined within the method, meaning it has a inlet temperature ect.
Did you change something regarding the back inlet? or…
We have OpenLab 2.1 (with content manger) running our GC and LC systems. We have successfully been running 2 x GC and 6 x LC systems however this morning on two of the systems we can see the following error:

Hello, Just to add on to dnprulz 's reply, the expression that he provided will work in OpenLab Custom Calculator and should perform what you are looking to do. However, if you want the pass/fail logic to be set on the report template then you will want…
Hi all,
I have a 6890A GC with a FID. We recently acquired the instrument and I have been running standards up to test methods. I have been getting signals that seem suspiciously low.
I am injecting Matreya Bacterial CP FAME mix (C11-C20 methyl esters…
Hi, I ran my batches with GC-FID under MassHunter Quant, but I cannot generate any reports. The error popped up during generating which is "Error: 'QuantDataProvider' object has no attribute 'FormatDateTime'." Has anybody faced with this issue to help…
Update: I checked filament and looks fine. Weird when switching from EI to CI source the tune fails 3x in a row and then passes every time after that. This happened twice after switching source. The tunes that pass though do not seem like everything is…
Hi
Either there is leak or loop is not filling properly with sample for low area.
And for too hot transferline, may be PC board or sensor is malfunctioning or faulty of headspace.
You can change column or trim the column from inlet and detector…
Hi Tom, we were told to upgrade to version 10.1 and it solved this issue. However, we found different strange behavior of manual integration. General integrator sometimes fail to integrate peak while manually integrating. What I still don't understand…
