For the System Calibration process, infuse the EMRS into the ion source by using the syringe pump.
Procedure
- In the Tune application toolbar, select the down arrow at the right of the Syringe On/Off control. Then, do the following:
- In the Volume (μL) list, select 500.
Syringe size list - In the Flow Rate (μL/min) box, type a value from 2 to 5.
Syringe pump settings box - Select Syringe Off to turn on the syringe pump.
- The button name changes to Syringe On.
- Select Apply.
- With the calibration solution flowing through the solvent line, do the following:
- Verify that the inlet plumbing connections do not leak.
- If necessary due to air in the sample transfer line, open the syringe pump settings again. Press and hold Prime to prime the syringe at 100 μL/min. Continue to press Prime until the until the signal from the EMRS appears in the spectrum view, which typically takes 3 to 5 seconds.
- Verify that the system readback is normal
.
- Let the system equilibrate for 15 minutes.
