CMS5000 Operating Manual Chapter 1 Introduction 1.1 Introduction WARNING Due to U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission regulations, the CMS5000 oven, which contains a sealed radioactive source, may not be repaired by unauthorized personnel. INFICON will provide the maintenance, repair, replacement and disposal of the radioactive source, as well as any part of the detector. The CMS5000 Monitoring System provides online water or air monitoring for the detection and analysis of VOCs.
CMS5000 Operating Manual 1.2 Gas Chromatograph The gas chromatograph (GC) performs a time separation of the sample compounds. The separation order is primarily based on increasing compound boiling point. Argon is used as the carrier gas to transport analytes through a 100% dimethylpolysiloxane, 0.32 mm id, 30 M, 4.0 µm (or equivalent) column. The inside of the column is coated with a thin layer of material known as the stationary phase.
CMS5000 Operating Manual When an organic molecule (R) enters the detector, it collides with the metastable argon (Ar*). During this collision, energy is released to the organic molecule. Since the ionization potential of most organic compounds is less than 11.7 eV, the metastable argon atoms will ionize them, producing positive ions and electrons.

Select Analyte in the Concentration Reference column for standards with differing concentrations of compounds, which is common when sampling air standards. See Figure 16-20.
CMS5000 Operating Manual 24 If Global is selected, enter the concentration of the standard in the data file in the Conc/Factor column. See Figure 16-21. Figure 16-21 Adding Concentrations using the Global Setting 25 When Global is selected, the Concentration Column in the center section will automatically be set to 1. This column does not require further modification in order to properly calibrate the standards. See Figure 16-22.
CMS5000 Operating Manual 27 Enter the factor of the standard in the Conc/Factor column in the Data Files section on the left side of the screen. This number will multiply each Concentration entered into the library template. For example, 1 µL of a specific compound in a standard has a concentration of 1 ppb. If the standard was prepared using 5 µL, the factor of the standard would be 5, because five times the amount of original concentration was used.
CMS5000 Operating Manual 28 Select Calibrate Library on the top of the screen. See Figure 16-25.
