Note:
Persistent spotting or filming is an indicator of contaminated solvent.
Clean the Front of the Orifice Plate
CAUTION: Potential System Damage. When cleaning the surface of the orifice plate, do
not remove the interface heater. Frequent removal of the interface heater can result in
damage to the interface heater. Surface cleaning of the interface heater is adequate for
routine cleaning.
CAUTION: Potential System Damage. To avoid damaging the aperture, do not insert a
wire or metal brush in the aperture on the curtain plate, orifice plate, or interface heater.
1. Dampen a lint-free wipe with LC-MS-grade water and then wipe the front of the orifice plate,
including the interface heater.
2. Repeat step
using the cleaning solution.
3. Wait until the orifice plate is dry.
4. Inspect the orifice plate for solvent stains or lint, removing any residue with a clean, slightly
damp, lint-free wipe.
Note:
Persistent spotting or filming is an indicator of contaminated solvent.
