Cleaning Procedures
The cleanliness of the sources, ion trap and conversion dynode can have a
significant impact on the performance of the mass spectrometer. The frequency
of cleaning depends on the quantity and nature of the samples run, so no
standard cleaning interval can be recommended. The troubleshooting guide in
this manual describes some of the symptoms that result from dirty components
and makes recommendations about when to perform cleaning procedures.
