3 CI Troubleshooting
High pressure with reagent gas flow
The reagent gas flow rate is too high
On the flow controller, turn down reagent gas flow as appropriate. Verify that
reagent ion ratios are correct.
Air leak
Run Methane Pretune. See the Operation Manual. A visible peak at m/z 32
indicates air in the system. Check for, and correct any leaks. See the Leaks
section at the beginning of this chapter.
Interface tip seal is not installed
Check the source storage box. If the seal is not in the box, vent the MSD and
verify that the seal is correctly installed.
