Prepare For The Upgrade - Agilent Technologies G1982-6700 Upgrade Installation Manual

Prepare for the upgrade

1. If installed, remove the HPLC-Chip Cube and HPLC-Chip Cube interface from the LC/MS
instrument.
2. Remove the HPLC-Chip interface spray shield and gas diverter. Properly dispose these
parts as they will no longer be used and are not compatible with the new gas diverter.
3. Before beginning the upgrade procedure, it is important to verify the current performance of
the LC/MS System. With a standard source installed including the standard capillary cap
and spray shield, perform a Positive and Negative ion mode autotune. Examine the tune
reports to verify that the LC/MS system is meeting tune specifications.
4. Right-click on the LC/MS icon in the Status pane and select "Vent".
After the LC/MS system has completed the vent process, switch off the front switch
•
and unplug the instrument.
It is suggested that since the instrument is being completely vented, that an Ion Optics
•
Servicing be performed. This would involve removing the desolvation assembly and
cleaning Skimmer 1 and possibly cleaning Lens 1 and Lens 2 of the Ion Optics
Assembly.
