Periodic Tasks
Calibrant Delivery System and Divert Value
The following procedures describe periodic maintenance tasks for the calibrant
delivery system (CDS) and divert values.
Filling a calibrant bottle
Perform this procedure as needed.
Parts required:
• APCI calibrant
• APCI-L tuning mix
• ESI-L tuning mix
• MMI-L tuning mix
• Reference mix
1 Rinse the calibrant bottle before refilling.
2 Refill the calibrant bottle with the appropriate tuning mix.
3 Put the intake tube into the calibrant bottle as you lift the calibrant bottle into
position.
Do not touch the intake tube unless you are wearing clean gloves.
4 Attach the calibrant bottle onto the fixed bottle cap. Turn the calibrant bottle
counter clockwise to tighten.
The bottle only needs to be snug. Do not over-tighten the bottle. A leaky bottle
cap can prevent the bottle from pressurizing and can lead to the evaporation of
the contents.
The tuning mixes are not interchangeable. Failure to change the tuning mix
when the source or inlet assembly is changed can result in miscalibration of
the instrument and errors in mass assignments.
