Perform daily tasks to check various items before you operate the system and perform the recommended cleaning procedures after you complete your sample analyses.
CAUTION
Before beginning normal operation of the MS each day, verify that there is sufficient nitrogen for the ion source. If you run out of nitrogen, the MS automatically turns to Off mode to prevent atmospheric oxygen from damaging the source. The presence of oxygen in the source when the MS is on can be unsafe. In addition, if the MS turns to Off mode during an analytical run, you might lose data.
NOTE
It is not necessary to calibrate the MS as part of your daily routine. Thermo Fisher Scientific recommends performing the instrument calibration every 28 days.
