Agilent Ultivo MS capillary issues

We have an Agilent Ultivo MS but have to replace the capillary every 3-4months. Cleaning simply does not help, and no we do not have strange dirty samples or solvents. The cost of these things necessitated us to simply switch of the MS because it is unaffordable. Just wondering if anyone else experienced a similar issue regarding capillaries that simply does not last very long.

  • Could not yet figure it out and the system is switched off until I figure out what to do. I was thinking of replacing the 'canted coil springs' but the SA distributer of Agilent (Chemetrix) does not want to provide details on how to do it, so I must fly a bloke in from Cape Town and pay for it to replace a couple of springs. To be honest this system has had issues from day 1
