Cleaning the RF Lens, Exit Lens, MP00 RF Lens, and Lens L0
Chemicals can accumulate on the surfaces of the RF lens, exit lens, MP00 RF lens, and lens
L0. However, the use of an RF lens that incorporates an RF electric field minimizes the
harmful effects of this contamination. The lenses require cleaning less often than the ion
sweep cone and the ion transfer tube. How frequently you clean these lenses depends on the
type and quantity of the compounds that you analyze. Remove the lenses from the API source
interface cage before cleaning them. No tools are needed to remove or install these
components.
To clean the RF lens, exit lens, MP00 RF lens, and lens L0, follow these procedures:
1. To remove the RF lens, exit lens, MP00 RF lens, and lens L0
2. To clean the RF lens, exit lens, MP00 RF lens, and lens L0
3. To reinstall the RF lens, exit lens, multipole MP00, and lens L0
4. To reinstall the API source interface
