Wipe off soiling.
Moisten gauze with a solvent that can remove soiling (such as water/methanol) and wipe
any soiling off with the gauze.
Clean the locations indicated below.
• Holder
• Guide
• Heat block
• Heater flange
• Inner wall of the ionization unit
• Tip of the ionization unit
Before wiping the tip of the ionization unit, be sure to adjust the projection
length of the ESI capillary to 0 mm or less.
If the ESI capillary projects at all, the tip of the capillary may stick into your
fingers during the work.
Contact with fingers may also reduce sensitivity.
