5.4 DIP (EI) Performance test
This test uses a standard solution with two components to determine the correct
performance of the DIP. Perform this procedure on both types of probe tips (for liquid and for
solid samples).
REQUIREMENTS
- An autotune has been performed.
- A new method for DIP EI measurements has been created in the MS ChemStation
software:
Follow the instructions of the MSD ChemStation manual and note that there are some
different inputs to be made:
• In the menu item “Inlet/Injection Types” select for “Sample Inlet” Other/None, for
“Injection Source” External Device, for “Scan Type” MS1 Scan and enter the value for
“Total Runtime” which is displayed in the DIP software (DIP method “check_EI.dip”, see
DIP manual).
- Optional: CombiPAL is installed correctly on the GC/MSD-DIP system (see DIP manual)
