Transfer method from 6890N to 7890B

Duanej1

Hi,

I am transferring a Test Method from the 6890N to the 7890B. The sample is THF.

Using the ALS with a 10uL syringe the injection volume is 0.2uL.

When i run the sample on the 6890N the peak area is about 500,000.

When i run the sample on the 7890B the peak area is about 100,000.

What would cause the difference in the peak areas?

The only difference i can see between the instrument methods is the mode on the 7890B is set to Pulsed splitless and the 6890N is set to splitless.

As far as i can see all other testing parameters are the same.

The Injection volume in the sample set is 0.2uL.

Thanks

    Hi Janna, 

    Do you have multiple compounds in your injection to compare using a relative response factor?  It is tough to compare two different systems on area response alone.  You don't mention a detector, but I think you may have an FID.

    Are you using the same autosampler on both systems?  Same liners?  For best comparison, I would set the 7890B to a standard splitless injection, then evaluate new features once you are certain you have equivalent performance.
