Assembling The Source Ion Block Assembly - Waters Xevo G2-XS QTof Overview And Maintenance Manual

a. Rinse the components by immersing them separately in glass vessels containing
water, and then placing the vessels in the ultrasonic bath for 20 minutes.
b. Remove residual water from the components by immersing them in separate glass
vessels containing methanol, and then placing the vessels in the ultrasonic bath for
10 minutes.
4. Carefully remove the components from the vessels and blow-dry them using inert, oil-free
gas.
5. Inspect each component for persisting contamination.
Requirement:
a. Use the wash bottle containing 1:1 methanol/water to rinse the component over the
large beaker.
b. Blow-dry the component using inert, oil-free gas.
Warning:
corrosive materials, dispose of all waste materials according to local environmental
regulations.
6. Inspect each component for persisting contamination. If contamination is present, dispose
of the component and obtain a new one before reassembly.

7.15.4 Assembling the source ion block assembly

Required materials
• Chemical-resistant, powder-free gloves
• Combined 2.5-mm hex wrench and cone extraction tool
• Isopropyl alcohol in small container
• HPLC-grade (or better) 1:1 methanol/water
• Lint-free cloth
To assemble the ion block assembly:
Notice:
powder-free gloves.
Notice:
them when removing the assembly and ceramic heater mounting block from the ion
block.
Notice:
To avoid recontaminating the components, wear clean, chemical-
resistant, powder-free gloves.
If contamination is present, do as follows:
To avoid spreading contamination with biologically hazardous, toxic, and
To avoid recontaminating the components, wear clean, chemical-resistant,
To avoid damaging the heater cartridge assembly wires, do not bend or twist
