• Verify nitrogen pressure. Nitrogen is required
to nebulize the sample.
• Check carrier solvent level, refill carrier.
solvent and re-prime the carrier solvent
pump. Carrier solvent is needed to bring
sample to the mass spectrometer.
• Check that the priming valve is tight. A loose
priming valve prevents sample from getting
to the mass spectrometer.
• Verify the splitting valve is not leaking. This
causes loss of carrier solvent preventing
sample from getting to the mass
spectrometer.
• Check for leaks around other fittings on the
solvent interface
