Some analyzer parts should not be disturbed
The mass filter (quadrupole) requires no periodic maintenance. In general, the
mass filter should never be disturbed. In the event of extreme contamination,
it can be cleaned, but such cleaning should only be done by a trained Agilent
Technologies service representative. The HED ceramic insulator must never be
touched.
Incorrect handling or cleaning of the mass filter can damage it and have a serious,
