For the GC-6890 FID detector issues you're experiencing, here's a simplified approach to troubleshoot the errors:
Gas Supplies:
Make sure all gas supplies (utility, makeup, hydrogen) are on.
Check that the pressure…
We suddenly lost power during sample injection, when the power back, the autosampler got needle lock fail error message and fail to go back to needle seat, anybody could help? we did a cold start but not work.
Thank you for the help so far. I was able to solve the problem on my results table by using the "left outer join" function.
However, the report will not print the individual peak chromatograms for the target ion or qualifiers if there was no peak detected…
Hi,
1. It is not normal, that you have to purge the cell gas lines every time
2. Ou should perform at least following "Tests" during Plasma ignition: Torch Axis - EM - Resolution/Axis. But a performance report every day would be nice (and therefore…
I am building a report for some GC-FID data from a GC-MS/FID instrument. I have managed to build a report that contains the chromatogram and the table of peaks. I can scale the X-axis to the scale i need but I have been unable to scale the y-axis to show…
Varian 710 oes, nebulization is ok, fog in the chamber is omogeneous, tubing, nebulizer, torch, cone cleaned and alligned.
Work fine till 2 weeks ago, after i've experienced this: fail to execute wavelenght calibration end torch allign, No response…
Hello Everyone,
I am using 7820A GC coupled with 5977B Mass Spec. After use I close the He tank and later on I get 2 messages - 'Front inlet flow shutdown' and 'Front inlet pressure shutdown'. I restarted the software but it fails to load any GC method…
I am using OpenLab Chemstation C.01.10 on an 8890 with dual FIDs. I was trained on HP's version of Chemstation that reported both detector quant amounts in one row for precision purposes. It made it 10x easier to review data and confirm sample concentrations…
Hi Juliana
Yes, most likely the capacitors and/or the RF Tube. However, you can try to reduce the run power to 1.1Kw in the default ignition table. You may then be able to run for a few weeks with this reduced power level. You will need to reduce the…
Hello, we are setting up a seahorse assay for a immunology master class. We want to measure the glycolytic rate in human PBMCs or purified human CD4 T cells activated vs non activated. We fail to see any difference. Has anyone done this kind of assay…
