Cleaning the Ion Sweep Cone and Ion Transfer Tube
You must clean the ion sweep cone and the ion transfer tube on a regular basis to prevent
corrosion and to maintain optimum performance of your API source. If you use nonvolatile
buffers in your solvent system or high concentrations of sample, you might need to clean the
ion sweep cone and ion transfer tube more often. See the topic, “Maintaining the Ion Sweep
Cone and Ion Transfer Tube” on page 79.
