Guidelines
For optimal results, follow these guidelines when performing the procedures in this chapter:
• Always wear a new pair of lint- and powder-free gloves when handling internal
components. Never reuse gloves after you remove them because the surface contaminants
on them recontaminate clean parts.
• Always place the components on a clean, lint-free work surface.
• Have nearby the necessary tools, supplies, and replacement parts (when applicable).
• Never overtighten a screw or use excessive force.
• Proceed methodically.
Tools and Supplies
The Orbitrap Fusion Series MS requires very few tools to perform routine maintenance
procedures. You can remove and disassemble many of the components by hand. Tab le 9 lists
the necessary chemicals, tools, and equipment for maintaining the instrument. (One of the
tools is in the Calibration Kit.) In addition, you can use the contents of the PM Cleaning Kit
(P/N 70111-62112).
IMPORTANT
• Put on a new pair of lint- and powder-free gloves before starting each removal,
cleaning, and reinstallation procedure.
• Make sure that you do not introduce any scratches or surface abrasions while
handling the API source interface components. Even small scratches can affect
performance if they are close to the ion transmission path. Avoid using tools, such as
metal pliers, that might scratch these components.
