Loss of response
(Cont'd)
The retention times changed. Maintain the column at constant
temperature.
Air is present in the pump or an
incorrect flow rate is set. Purge the
pump (→ Pump Manual). Check the
flow rate. Consider the mobile
phase.
The gas flow is turned off. No gas flow is present to induce
nebulization.
Make sure that the gas is flowing
into the detector.
The gas flow is reduced. Reduced gas flow can lead to low
response.
Make sure that the gas is flowing
into the detector. Check gas filters
and replace them if necessary
(→ page 113).
Gas is leaking. Gas leaks interrupt the nebulization.
The gas flow value is too low on the
display. Check the gas inlet, exhaust
and tubing. Remedy the gas leak
and/or replace gas tubings.
Liquid is leaking at the detector
inlet.
Check the capillary connections.
Check the tubing connected to the
waste port of the detector for liquid.
If internal liquid leak is observed,
contact Service.
Poor peak area precision The autosampler draws air from
the vial.
There is not enough amount of
sample in the vial, the needle height
setting is incorrect (→ Autosampler
Manual), or there are too many
replicates.
There are air bubbles in the
syringe or the autosampler flow
connection parts.
Flush the syringe (→ Autosampler
Manual).
Non-degassed wash solution is
used. Degas the wash solution
(→ Autosampler Manual).
There is a gas bubble in the flow
path.
Perform a wash cycle
(→ Autosampler Manual).
The draw speed is too high. Reduce the draw speed
(→ Autosampler Manual).
The gas content of the sample is
too high or saturated.
Reduce the draw speed
(→ Autosampler Manual).
Degas the sample if possible.
The needle is clogged or the
needle tip is deformed.
Replace the needle (→ Autosampler
Manual).
