2. Install the sample tubing nut on the fitting at the top of the TurboIonSpray probe.
3. Tighten the sample tubing nut until it is finger-tight.
4. Connect red PEEK tubing from the sample supply device to the grounding union on
the ion source.
5. Connect the other end of the red PEEK tubing to the grounding union.
Connect the Sample Tubing and Cables for Sample
Introduction with the APCI Probe
If you are using the optional CDS, refer to the CDS Operator Guide to install the CDS and
connect the tubing and cables.
1. Insert a 30 cm piece of red PEEK tubing into the sample tubing nut at the top of the
APCI probe.
2. Install the sample tubing nut on the fitting at the top of the APCI probe.
3. Tighten the sample tubing nut until it is finger-tight.
4. Connect red PEEK tubing from the sample supply device to the grounding union on
the ion source.
5. Connect the other end of the red PEEK tubing to the grounding union.
Optimization
Optimize the ion source whenever the analyte, flow rate, or mobile phase composition changes.
Use appropriate analytical procedures and practices to minimize external dead volumes. Prefilter
samples so that the capillary tubing in the sample inlets is not blocked by particles, precipitated
samples, or salts.
Tip! Refer to Figure 7-1 on page 83 for a picture on the parts referenced
in this procedure.
WARNING! Toxic Chemical Hazard: Make sure that the sample tubing nut is
tightened properly before operating this equipment. If the sample tubing nut is
not tight, the sample may leak, and you may be exposed to dangerous chemicals.
WARNING! Electrical Shock Hazard: Do not bypass the grounding union
connection. The grounding union provides safety grounding between the mass
spectrometer and the sample introduction device.
Tip! Refer to Figure 7-1 on page 83 for a picture of the parts referenced in
this procedure.
