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…
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…
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…

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…
We have a Duo 2.5 foreline pump that was replaced in June of this year (2023). The previous Duo 2.5 installed had a sudden catastrophic leak, thus the replacement in June. The oil was filled up halfway and I set a marker with tape to monitor the level…
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…
I have started using GC-FID (Agilent 8890) since March for the first time. We are trying to measure the methane. I was trying to make a standard surve, so I injected 1000 ppm methane standard at first. Just to let you guys know no samples has been run…
Hi vitiin96,
this is very generic and any book on GC troubleshooting or the videos on the Agilent website could help. For the 7890 there is a troubleshooting manual available.
Good practice in GC is when you get a (new) column, you have an own suitability…
Hi byoo,
Do you get any failed to communicate or any other message when you start up the software? You are correct if the busy light should be constantly flashing. This means you got a successfuk firmware load from the PC from ethernet connection. Can…
