The ESI ionization mode options use the standard ESI probe that is fitted to
the instrument when it is shipped from the factory. The following sections
explain how to install and remove the ESI probe.
For further instruction, see
page 24 .
Installing the ESI probe
Probe compatibility warning label:
Required material:
Chemical-resistant, powder-free gloves
Warning:
On instruments bearing the probe compatibility
warning label (below), always use an ESI probe whose design
incorporates a drain spout. In the event of a leak at the capillary
union, using an older ESI probe model, whose design does not
incorporate a drain spout, can lead to unmanaged solvent
spillage and an associated risk of ignition.
