Argon; Materials And Solvents - Agilent Technologies Varian 325-MS LC/MS Pre-Installation Instructions

Argon

Argon is required as a collision gas for MS/MS work. The argon supply uses 1/8 in. connectors.
Use a two-stage 0-100 psi pressure regulator with a stainless steel diaphragm. The purity of the
argon must be greater than 99.0%.

Materials and Solvents

The Varian Representative will prepare solutions to tune and evaluate the LC/MS. Please
supply the materials on Table 11 and the solvents on Table 12.
