Page 110: Evaporation Temperature
See the Guidelines for selecting the evaporation temperature below. TIP Using performance metrics such as the precision and sensitivity of the detector can help to receive the optimal evaporation temperature. Page 110 Charged Aerosol Detectors (VH-D20, VF-D20) Operating Manual...
Page 111 • Perform screening runs at two evaporation temperature settings. VH-D20 detector: Use a minimum of two evaporation ¨ temperatures. Typically, 35 °C and 40 °C are appropriate if the temperature range is unknown. If required, perform additional tests in a maximum of 5 °C increments.
Page 112: Gas Regulation Mode (Vh-D20 Detector Only)
• Operation 6.10.6 Gas Regulation Mode (VH-D20 Detector only) This section applies only to the VH-D20 detector. The detector provides two gas regulation modes to optimize the efficiency of the nebulizer: Analytical mode and MicroLC mode. Each mode sets a specific nebulizer gas pressure for the analysis, based on the gas pressure specified for the nebulizer from the nebulizer certificate.
