Agilent Chemical Analysis: troubleshooting and FAQs
Troubleshooting tips and frequently asked questions for Agilent Chemical Analysis.
Troubleshooting tips
If your Agilent GC/MS system shows low sensitivity, check for leaks in the inlet and column connections using a leak detector. Tighten fittings and replace septa and O-rings as needed.
For HPLC baseline noise, purge the detector flow cell with fresh mobile phase and ensure the lamp is not expired. Replace the lamp if necessary and equilibrate the column properly.
When ICP-OES results drift, verify the peristaltic pump tubing is not worn out. Replace tubing and recalibrate the instrument with a fresh standard.
If your Agilent LC/MS shows poor peak shape, check the column frit for blockage. Backflush the column or replace it if needed, and ensure the mobile phase pH is within column specifications.
For GC inlet discrimination, verify the inlet liner is clean and the glass wool is properly positioned. Replace the liner and perform a syringe test to ensure proper injection.
