To install an APCI source
To install an APCI source
1 Install the ESI spray shield.
Make sure the small hole is at the top (“12 o'clock position”). If needed, use
a T10 Torx drive to loosen the two screws in the end plate, and rotate the
ESI spray shield clockwise until the hole is in the correct position. Gently
tighten the Torx screws again.
2 Close the ESI reference nebulizer gas tubing with a cap. A threaded plug is
provided for this purpose.
3 Install the APCI spray chamber.
4 Close the spray chamber.
5 Connect the nebulizing gas tubing and LC tubing to the APCI nebulizer.
6 Connect the APCI heater cable and the APCI high voltage cable.
7 In the left side of the Q-TOF tab, in the Method Editor window, select APCI
as the Ion Source.
8 Click Apply.
9 Put the instrument in On mode.
Let the source heat to its working temperature. Typically, this takes about
15 minutes.
10 Load or create the desired analytical method.
This will load the appropriate gas flows and temperature setpoints.
11 Rinse a clean bottle with acetonitrile.
The ship kit comes with an extra bottle (p/n 9300-2576) and bottle cap (p/n
9300-2575).
12 Pour the APCI/APPI Tuning Mix into the tuning mix bottle.
