Maintenance 2
To clean the high pressure ion funnel
3 Slowly pour water into the beaker until the solvent covers the ion funnel
completely. Sonicate the ion funnel for 5 minutes to remove any built up
salts or water soluble residue.
4 Pour the water out of the beaker and into an appropriate waste container.
5 Slowly pour isopropanol into the beaker until the solvent covers the Ion
Funnel completely.
6 Pour the isopropanol out of the beaker and into an appropriate waste
container.
7 Sonicate the assembly in a beaker of isopropanol for 15 minutes.
8 Remove the high pressure ion funnel from beaker and allow the isopropanol
to drain off the entire assembly.
9 Slowly pour methanol into the beaker until the solvent covers the ion funnel
completely. Sonicate the ion funnel for 5 minutes.
10 Use clean compressed nitrogen to blow out the remaining methanol from
between the funnel plates.
