This chapter provides information and instructions for
operating the 7200 QTOF GC/MS system in Chemical Ionization
(CI) mode. Most of the information in the preceding chapter is
also relevant.
Most of the material is related to methane chemical ionization
but one section discusses the use of other reagent gases.
The software contains instructions for setting the reagent gas
flow and for performing CI autotunes. Autotunes are provided
for positive CI (PCI) with methane reagent gas and for negative
CI (NCI) with any reagent gas.
