  • Page 13: Preface

    • Contacting Us About Your System Thermo Scientific systems provide the highest caliber gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) instrumentation available on today’s market. GC/MS represents a combination of two powerful analytical techniques: GC, which acts as a separation technique, and MS, which acts as a detection technique. Complex mixtures of individual compounds can be injected into the GC, either manually or by an autosampler and then separated for presentation to the MS.

  • Page 38: Gas Equipment Requirements

    Note Thermo Fisher Scientific installation specifications require helium as a carrier gas and argon as a collision gas. You must have one tank of each gas at installation, or the field service engineer will not be able to run specifications on your TSQ 8000 Evo MS. Table 6. Carrier Gas Specifications...

  • Page 39: Ci Gas

    Turn off the supply until the GC column is in the inlet of the TSQ 8000 Evo MS. Whenever you use hydrogen, it is critical to test all connections, lines, and valves for leaks before using the instrument. When performing maintenance, be sure to turn off the hydrogen supply.

  • Page 40: Collision Gas

    CI reagent gas flow module. Collision Gas • You may use argon or nitrogen as collision gases for the TSQ 8000 Evo MS. Typical cylinders are about 23 cm (9 in.) in diameter by 140 cm (55 in.) tall and output >15,000 kPa (>2200 psig).

  • Page 41: Other Gas Specifications

    Requirements Guide for more information. Other Gas Specifications • If your TSQ 8000 Evo system will be equipped with a Direct Insertion Probe, make sure you have compressed air, which is used to cool the probe. • If you have a TriPlus RSH autosampler with the SPME conditioning station or a TriPlus 300 Headspace autosampler, you need to obtain a low-pressure, single-stage regulator (0-30 psi) for nitrogen purging.

  • Page 42: Using Hydrogen

    Receiving Requirements Using Hydrogen To safely use hydrogen in your TSQ 8000 Evo system, you should have a hydrogen sensor installed in your GC. Field Service Engineers can install a sensor. but they are not authorized to install or repair any instrument using hydrogen as a carrier gas unless the instrument is equipped with the appropriate sensor.
