Making the Duct to Couple with a DFS, IRMS, or ICP-MS Mass Spectrometer

Thermo Scientific
 To make the duct for the transfer line
1. Remove the left/right side panel according to the high resolution mass spectrometer to
couple.
a. Open the front door of the GC.
b. Use a T20 Torxhead screwdriver to loosen the left/right side panel screw from the
interior front panel. Save the screw because it will be reused later.
c. Slide the panel towards the back of the instrument up to the stop.
d. Remove the panel by pulling it outward. Be aware that the ground wire is attached to
the panel.
2. Prepare the proper duct for the transfer line inner tube.
a. Use a T20 Torxhead screwdriver to loosen the duct plate screws from the left/right
panel. See Figure
Figure 37. Left/Right Side Panel
b. According to the configuration of your high resolution mass spectrometer, on the
left/right exterior wall of the oven box, remove the partial cut plate of the duct of
interest, and then the pre-shaped plug of insulating material from the duct provided.
See Figure 38.
