The Gc/Ms Interface For A 9000 Series Gc - Agilent Technologies 5977B Series Operating Manual

4 Gently check the alignment of the analyzer and the interface.
Forcing the analyzer closed if these parts are misaligned will damage the seal or the

The GC/MS Interface for a 9000 Series GC

The GC/MS Interface is a heated conduit into the MS for maintaining MS
vacuum and a suitable column effluent temperature. (See
GC/MS Interface is bolted onto the right side of the analyzer chamber, with an
O-ring seal and has a protective cover which should be left in place.
One end of the interface passes through the side of the GC and is accessed
from inside the GC front door. This allows connection of the 9000 GC/MS Tail
column nut. The 9000 GC/MS Tail includes a swagged ferrule and column nut
for attaching to the GC end of the GC/MS Interface. The 9000 GC/MS Tail
transports the column effluent from a heated column bus connector in the GC,
through the heated GC/MS Interface, and exits slightly past the end of the
column guide tube and into the ionization chamber. The 9000 GC/MS Tail
maintains temperature at several points along its length by a heated bus, an
MS tail heater assembly, and the GC/MS Interface.

When the analyzer is aligned correctly, the analyzer can be closed all the
way with no resistance except the spring tension from the interface tip seal.
