15. Remove the two gold wires that attach the electron multiplier to the electron multiplier
plate and move them out of the way.
16. Lift up on the spring tab at the top of the electron multiplier and remove the electron
multiplier.
17. Insert the new electron multiplier through the bottom tab first and then slide it into the
spring tab at the top until it clicks into place.
IMPORTANT Many nitrile and latex gloves not certified for clean room use contain
silicone mold releasing agents that will contaminate the instrument. For this reason, clean
room gloves are strongly recommended when touching components inside the vacuum
manifold. We recommend Cardinal Health CP100 Nitrile Cleanroom Gloves. See the ISQ
and TSQ GC-MS Spare Parts Guide for ordering information
18. Make sure the electron multiplier fits snugly.
19. Reconnect the gold wires.
20. Inspect the o-ring between the manifold and detector assembly for debris. If the o-ring is
