Check for O-ring deterioration.
Clean the lamp and sample compartment windows.
Check the air filter, spray chamber and liquid trap.
Arrange for Agilent trained and certified personnel to perform preventative
maintenance.
Clean the nebulizer/spray chamber assembly thoroughly at the end of
every working day by aspirating at least 50 mL of the appropriate solvent
through the system.
Test all connections for leaks with a brush and soap solution or a
proprietary leak-detecting solution. Never use a naked flame when testing
for leaks. Rectify all leaks before lighting the flame.
Test the nebulizer for leaks. If any leakage is detected, replace the internal
O-rings.
Remove and check the nebulizer, re-install the nebulizer (outlined in the
following section) and measure the uptake rate to verify the Performance
checks– see Page 85.
