a. Load the cleaned syringe with a solution of 50:50 methanol/water (or another
appropriate solvent).
b. Carefully reinsert the syringe needle into the Teflon tube on the syringe adapter
assembly.
c. Slowly depress the syringe plunger to flush the solution through the sample transfer
line, sample tube, and spray insert.
d. Remove the syringe needle from the syringe adapter assembly.
This completes the procedure to flush the inlet components.
Purging the Oil in the Forepump
Purge (decontaminate) the oil in the forepump daily to remove water and other dissolved
chemicals, which can cause corrosion and decrease the lifetime of the forepump. For
instructions, refer to the forepump’s documentation.
The best time to purge the oil is at the end of the working day after you flush the inlet
components. Remember to close the purge valve before continuing normal operation.
Emptying the Solvent Waste Container
Check the solvent level in the solvent waste container daily. If necessary, empty the container
and dispose of the solvent waste in accordance with local and national regulations.
Placing the System in Standby Mode
After you complete the daily maintenance procedures, place the mass spectrometer in standby
mode as described in “Placing the Mass Spectrometer in Standby Mode” on page 50.
