Maximum Length of Cables and Hoses
The distance between system modules may be limited by some of the cabling and the vent or
vacuum hoses.
The supporting surface for the 7200/7250 Q-TOF GC/MS system should be kept relatively
vibration free. Do not put the rough pump on your laboratory bench with the 7200/7250
Q-TOF GC/MS due to the vibration that the pump creates. Vibration can lead to a loss of
mass accuracy and resolution.
