Possible contamination of quadrupole

Hello, we recently had a PM on our triple quadrupole 6495C.  We noticed brown spots on the ends of the quads and also on the inside of the quads.  We are not sure if this is sample or rust.  We run serum, plasma, and dried blood spot samples.  Could this contamination affect the electric fields coming from the quadrupoles?
