23. Let the ion source cartridge cool down before removing it from the source holder.
1. Disassemble the ion source cartridge by removing the locking ring first, then the repeller
spring, then the nut, insulator, and repeller (which comes out in one piece), ion volume,
lens 1, lens 2, and lens 3/RF lens.
IMPORTANT Many nitrile and latex gloves not certified for clean room use contain
silicone mold releasing agents that will contaminate the instrument. For this reason,
clean room gloves are strongly recommended when handling the ion source cartridge.
We recommend Cardinal Health CP100 Nitrile Cleanroom Gloves. See the ISQ and
TSQ GC-MS Spare Parts Guide for ordering information.
