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…
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…
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…
Hello, From the screenshot you posted the error that appears to be aborting the method run is "Failed to set injection volume". For a headspace sampler the injection volume should be the sample loop volume which is part of the instrument configuration…
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…
We have experienced this but on a 5975. The cooling fan for the turbo pump failed to restart after maintenance. The error message however did not refer to the fan at all. The easiest way to check if the fan is working is to hold a Kimwipe or other tissue…
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 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 Brian,
What kind of detector are you using? From my experience with FID, you shouldn’t have issues with septa bleed from re-running samples within the same day. If you inject the vial and then re-run it after a day, you will probably see n-hydrocarbon…
