Controlling The Di Probe Temperature; Ramping The Probe Temperature Manually - Waters GCT Premier Operator's Manual

Controlling the DI probe temperature

Source temperature is often sufficient to evaporate the sample, particularly if
the shallow sample cup is used. If the sample fails to evaporate, or if a more
controlled evaporation is required, MassLynx can ramp the probe
temperature during acquisition.

Ramping the probe temperature manually

To ramp the probe temperature manually:
1. In the MassLynx Tune window Inlet tab, ensure that the Use DCI mode
check box is not selected.
Tune window Inlet tab:
2. Enter the required temperature in the Solids Probe text box.
3. Press the Enter key.

Tip: For safety reasons, the temperature is set to 0 at the start of an
acquisition. Once the acquisition has started, you can manually ramp
the probe temperature using this control.
