  • Page 107: Other Reagent Gases

    Other Reagent Gases This section describes the use of isobutane or ammonia as the reagent gas. You should be familiar with operating the CI-equipped 7000/7010 Series TQ GC/MS with methane reagent gas before attempting to use other reagent gases. Do not use nitrous oxide as a reagent gas. It radically shortens the life span of the C A U T I O N filament.
  • Page 108 Ammonia tends to break down vacuum pump fluids and seals. Ammonia CI makes more frequent vacuum system maintenance necessary. Refer to the 7000/7010 Series Triple Quad GC/MS Troubleshooting and Maintenance Manual. When running ammonia for 5 or more hours a day, the foreline pump must be ballasted C A U T I O N (flushed with air) for at least 1 hour a day to minimize damage to pump seals.
