Hi,
there is quite a big drop in sensitivity in August. that's interesting. Are the MassHunter settings for the "Configure Ignition Sequence" "Standard Tune" and are all the Startup tasks, beside the P/A factor and EM run succesfully? please run then…
Hello mkaadan ,
What I meant by a "low" failure rate (notice the quotation marks), is that it is likely not an indication of a leak, as that would result in a lot more samples failing, or potentially all of them. By no means I wanted to minimize the…
I am trying to run a Injector Precision PV test using the conditions described in the software: caffeine standard (125 ug/mL) and HP ODS Hypersil 5 um, 125 x 4 mm part 7982618-564 . The method uses 85:15 Water:ACN mobile phase at 0.8 mL/min. The test…

Hi, I have a GC/MS (8890 GC with 5977b HES MSD) that is also configured with an FID and PDHID. I would like to create an FID/PDHID-only method, where the MSD remains off the entire run and does not collect data. I haven't figured out how to do this so…

Hi everyone. I have a problem with my 8890 GC-MS as I do not have pressure in the inlet. The issue began during the IT outage, the EPC module turned off itself hence all heated zones turned off as well. When I managed to re-establish the connection I…
Hi ISH, yes all was fine with column installation and pump down was efficient. The issue seems to be with the entrance lense offset - I loaded a previous tune and managed to run an autotune however it is failing due to too high 503/502 ratio. I've seen…
Hello Paul, it looks to me that there is too much acetylene in the gas mixture coming to the burner. This is causing the carbon build-up.
I'd suggest you first remove the absorption cell from the holder and clean this by soaking in dilute nitric acid…
