Hello All, Not certain if this is the proper location for such a question, so please feel free to indicate the correct location if I am in error. Issue: Difficulty with GC Chromatography and irreproducible injections - Specifically, the chromatography…
1.0 What is the significance of detector noise during GC calibration 2.0 What is the impact if it fails 3.0 What is the difference between signal to noise ratio and detector noise and drift
Hello everyone! We have a Lc MSD VL G1956A single quad. In the past, at some point we had problems with the acquisition of MS. We had lost the MSd signal. Now it's worse. It is impossible to make acquisitions with MS.
The equipment is under maintenance…
Hi Norbert Thank you for your quick response. As you said we are using a GC Agilent 7890 with a Agilent headspace. We have an issue with the RSD. The first 5 injections are really good but after inject a sample the next STD injection to close the run…

I have an Agilent 7890A GC-FID with dual split/splitless inlets and detectors configured with a 0.53 mm ID capillary column. My instrument keeps giving me the message "front inlet pressure, system shutdown". The front inlet cannot maintain pressure and…
Maintenance have been done on the P&T, the buller is cleaned, the trap have been change in august 2016, moisture trap in december 2016. The method we're using is the method used here over years...Never had this kind of problem... The GC column had been…
Hi, Thank you for your replies. We had some assistance by email from Agilent and we checked several points. We changed the EM horn and cleaned the HED. The clip that holds EM horn seemed to be fine. We also ran several tests from the Lab device toolkit…
"No Emission Current" -- This message just says that the filament is not working.
Wait long enough after pumping down. Don’t turn on the MS to just ‘take a look’ to see how the pump down is going. The residual oxygen damages the filament immediately…
Hello I am using Chemstation version B.04 and I recently found the mentioned macro. However, it does not seem to properly work. First, it failed at the Revision, therefore I took a look at macro file and found out supported versions were only previous…
