4. Add 1:1 methanol/water to the glass vessel until the ion guide assembly is
immersed completely.
5. Place the vessel in the ultrasonic bath for 30 minutes.
6. Carefully remove the ion guide assembly from its vessel, and blow-dry it using
inert, oil-free gas.
7. Inspect the ion guide assembly for persisting contamination.
Requirement: If contamination is present, do as follows:
a. Use the wash bottle containing methanol to rinse the ion guide assembly over
the large beaker.
b. Blow-dry the ion guide assembly with inert, oil-free gas.

Required materials
• Clean, chemical-resistant, powder-free gloves.
•2.5-mm Allen wrench.
• Flat-head screwdriver.
•
O-ring removal kit.
Notice: To avoid recontaminating the ion guide assembly, wear clean,
chemical-resistant, powder-free gloves for the rest of this procedure.
Warning: To avoid personal contamination with biohazards or toxic
materials, and to avoid spreading contamination to uncontaminated surfaces,
wear clean, chemical-resistant, powder-free gloves when working with the
source components.
Notice: To avoid damaging the ion guide assembly when removing it from
the pumping block assembly, do not grasp the ion guide by its metal lens
plates. Instead, grasp the circuit boards on the top and bottom of the device.
