Preparing the mass spectrometer for operation with the APGC 2-3
Removing the LC source enclosure from the mass spectrometer
You must remove the currently fitted source enclosure from the mass
spectrometer before installing the APGC source enclosure.
Required materials
• Chemical-resistant, powder-free gloves
• Needle-nose pliers
To remove the source enclosure:
1. Prepare the instrument for working on its source (see page 2-2).
2. Slide the instrument’s source interface door open.
3. Disconnect the probe adjuster and options cables from the instrument’s
connectors.
4. Slide the instrument’s source interface door closed.
Warning: To avoid personal contamination with biologically
hazardous, toxic, or corrosive materials, and to avoid spreading
contamination to uncontaminated surfaces, wear clean,
chemical-resistant, powder-free gloves when working with the
probe and the source components.
Warning: To avoid electric shock, prepare the instrument for work
performed on its source (see page 2-2) before removing the source
enclosure.
Warning: To avoid burn injuries, take great care while working
with the source components, which can be hot.
Warning: To avoid puncture wounds, take great care when
removing an ESI probe; the probe tip is sharp.
Warning: To avoid puncture wounds, take great care when the
corona pin is in place and you are working with the source
enclosure open. The tip of the corona pin is sharp.
