LCMS Check List
* For details of the LC system, refer to the LC Pre-Installation Requirements.
1.Installation
environment
20 to 70 %
No condensation and discharge caused by static electricity
See 2.7 System Installation Example.
LCMS weight: 140 kg (additional LC unit, PC and others)
The installation site should be of sufficient strength to withstand
this weight.
Space at back
(Rotary pump space)
At least 600 mm for rotary pump installation and maintenance
The space of the Nitrogen generator, Ar cylinder
230 V, (fluctuation ±5 %)
(The guarantee performance range 218.5 to 241.5)
LC system, N2/DryAir generator, PC, Printer
Nitrogen gas
*On the APCI/DUIS, dry air depending on conditions. See 2.9.
Gas purity
99.5% or more (97 % (when using a nitrogen gas generator))
Gas pressure 690 to 800 kPa
Dry air (Oil-free, Water-free)
Gas pressure 690 to 800 kPa
Hydrocarbon trap(recommended)
Argon gas
(Purity: 99.99 % or more, Pressure: 500 to 800 kPa)
Evacuation of the
solvent vapor from
the interface and
rotary pump
exhaust.
Evacuation facilities such as a draft chamber (example:
20 m3/min)
Evacuation tube length: 10 m (max.)
Mobile phase,
rinsing solution
▪ Water (ultrapure water)
▪ Acetonitrile LCMS grade
▪ Methanol LCMS grade (at installation of APCI)
▪ Isopropanol (for rinsing flow line)
▪ Standard Sample (for Tuning)
▪ Reserpine (for ESI/APC/Micro ESII)
▪ Acetophenone (for DUIS)
▪ Drain bottle
▪ Reservoir bottle
(mobile phase)
▪ (Maintenance
parts,
consumables)
Check with the Shimadzu representative as necessary.
Carry-in route and
equipment
An elevator must be available when installing the instrument on
the second or higher floor above the ground. Provide sufficient
check to the carry-in route.
8.Installing to
Existing
System
Explain the customer that the sensitivity check in case of the
installation to the existing system will be performed in the way of
just checking the obtained data without referring to the criteria.
