Routine and Preventive Maintenance

Maintenance Schedule

Thermo Scientific
The Surveyor MSQ Plus MS detector is a low maintenance instrument. Apart from fairly
light periodic preventive maintenance, it requires only simple source cleaning and inspection
on a "loss of performance" basis.
This chapter contains a maintenance schedule and instructions for the maintenance tasks that
you must perform to keep your Surveyor MSQ Plus MS detector in optimal working
condition.
Contents
• Maintenance Schedule
• Maintaining the ESI Probe
• Maintaining the APCI Probe
• Maintaining the Probe Heater
• Maintaining the Source Block Assembly
• Maintaining the Forepump
Table 4 contains a list of routine maintenance procedures that you must perform at the
intervals specified.
The maintenance schedule provides only a rough guide to the maintenance tasks you are
responsible for. The appropriate frequency for these tasks depends on instrument usage and
the level of system-induced contamination from samples and mobile phase solvents.
