The mass filter does not require periodic maintenance. It should not be removed from the
radiator or distributed in any way.
• Never put the quadrupole in an ultrasonic cleaner.
• Never change the physical orientation of the quadrupole mass filter.
• The fused-quartz quadrupole is fragile and will break if dropped or handle roughly.
• The material in the cusps of the quadrupole is very hygroscopic. If exposed to water,
the quadrupole must be dried very slowly to prevent damage.
• Cleaning techniques appropriate for other manufacturers' instruments are not suitable
for Agilent MSDs – and may actually harm the mass filter.
• To save time and effort, use only Agilent MSD mass filters, which do not require
periodic cleaning or maintenance.
• In case of extreme contamination, contact a trained Agilent service representative to
perform the mass filter cleaning.
