This chapter provides information and instructions for operating the
5977B Series CI MSDs in CI mode. Most of the information in the preceding
chapter is also relevant.
Most of the material is related to methane CI but one section discusses the use
of other reagent gases.
The software contains instructions for setting the reagent gas flow and for
performing CI autotunes. Autotunes are provided for PCI with methane
reagent gas and for NCI with any reagent gas.
If you are using the Agilent Intuvo 9000 Gas Chromatograph with your MS,
Chemical Ionization (CI) and the JetClean system are not currently supported.
