Hello,
upon start vacuum sequence. You should hear a clik. This is for BK. Monitor IF/BK meter at that point. it has to go lower than 20 Pa. Then you should hear a second click. This time another valve open. It should rise above 20 Pa. Then after…
Hi All, I'm trying to get the following expression to work in a Qual 10 report (in excel format as that's about the extent of my coding knowledge): =IF(Area<DB_Notes,"Fail","Pass") to flag compounds which are less than a defined minimum peak area (which…
Tray sensor failed is either try a new tray or the transport assy is most likely needs to be replaced. Does Lab Advisor see the module? There is a log book in Lab Advisor as well.
Are there electronic checks that can check to make sure a filament isn't failing because of an electronic issue? We had a filament die, which isn't too surprising considering it was nearly ten years old (teaching institution, the instrument sees periodic…
Dear Community
I am using a GC/FID from Agilent with Openlab CDS. The GC/FID has to columns (front and back) which gives a slightly different retention time for the same substance. I use both lines, one for the measurement and the other for the control…
I work in a small, environmental lab. We test aluminum levels in serum using ICP-MS. We can run batches of 250 samples at a time. We dilute 500 microliters of serum to 5 ml using 0.2% HNO3. We calibrate using 1, 5, 10, and 20 ppb Aluminum std. At the…

I don't think it would have a problem as long as you're not trying to connect with both software platforms at the same time. I've seen other customers do similar things (GCMS/FID, using MSD Chemstation for MSD work and GC Chemstation for FID work).
Hello Agilent community,
I have recently been 'Recovery Test in GMP' of Openlab 3.4 (Build 3.4.0.242) in a standalone environment using the Windows Hyper-V feature.
During the testing, I found the following two issues
First, a warning message…
Good morning It turns out that this is the first time something so particular has happened to me with my GC-MSD (6850-5975). I work with MassHunter 10.0.368 and from one moment to another the signal for two of my work standards (organophosphates and phenols…
