Take the electrospray probe and connect its gas line to
Nebuliser
on the front
panel.
Connect the liquid flow of a LC system or syringe pump to the probe.
Insert the probe into the source and tighten the two thumb nuts to secure the
probe firmly.
Plug the probe lead into
Capillary / Corona
on the front panel.
On the MassLynx top-level window, click on to launch the tune page.
The top line of the tune page indicates the current ionisation mode.
If necessary, change the ionisation mode using the Ion Mode command.
Set Source Temp to 100°C and Desolvation Temp to 20°C.
Warning: Operating the source without the source enclosure results
in solvent vapour escape and the exposure of hot surfaces and high
voltages.
Warning: The ion source block can be heated to temperatures of 150°C, and is
maintained at the set temperature when the source enclosure is removed.
Touching the ion block when hot may cause burns to the operator.
