Prepare to acquire data
Agilent 6400 Series Triple Quad LC/MS Familiarization Guide 5
4 Set the column temperature to 60
C. Lower temperatures may be used;
however, the retention times will be longer, and the pump pressure may
exceed the limit of some LC systems.
The Electrospray LC Demo Sample (P/N 59987-20033) contains five ampoules
with 100 ng/μL each of sulfamethizole (M+H)

=
279, sulfachloropyridazine (M+H)

NOTE
Determining optimal parameter values for acquiring sample compound data requires that
the Triple Quadrupole instrument already be tuned on the Tuning Mix calibrant ions. Before
proceeding with this exercise, make sure you have used Checktune or Autotune to verify
that calibrant ions each have the proper mass assignment, peak width, and signal
intensity.
See the Quick Start Guide, Installation Guide or online Help for instructions on tuning the
instrument.
