This manual describes how to install, operate, and troubleshoot the Agilent
G3215A Mass Spec Bench.
The Mass Spec Bench is designed to accommodate the rough pump or pumps
used with your LC/MS or GC/MS System. It significantly reduces noise, while
two internal fans ensure that your pump does not overheat. The platform that
supports the rough pump is designed to be separated from the main frame of
the bench. This setup minimizes the vibration from the rough pump, which can
affect instrument performance of the LC/MS or GC/MS instrument. It is also
designed to capture any oil that leaks from the rough pump.
The Mass Spec Bench is compatible with BOC Edwards E1M18, E2M28 pumps,
and XDSi35 Dry Pumps. It is also compatible with Agilent MS40, TS600, and
TS800 pumps. These pumps are used with:
• Agilent 1100/1200 LC/MS Series instruments
• Agilent 6000 Series LC/MS Systems
• Agilent Single and Triple Quad GC/MS Systems
• Agilent 7500 Series ICP/MS

The Mass Spec Bench is designed to be rolled on smooth hard surfaces found in the lab
environment. Moving the Mass Spec Bench on carpeted surfaces, rough surfaces, or
uneven surfaces can be difficult. Additionally, crossing thresholds can present problems as
the clearance on the pump tray feet is less than 3/4 of an inch.
