For “As needed” tasks, follow these guidelines:
• Clean the mass spectrometer surfaces after a spill or when they become dirty.
• Empty the source exhaust drain bottle before it becomes full.
• Clean the curtain plate, orifice plate, skimmer, and Q0 region if system sensitivity degrades.
Tip! Clean the Q0 region regularly to minimize the impact of charging (a significant loss of
sensitivity of the ions of interest over a short period of time) on the quadrupoles and lenses.
Contact a QMP or FSE.
• Refill the roughing pump oil when it falls below the minimum oil level.
• Periodically inspect all exhaust connections to make sure that the integrity is maintained, and
that any exhaust is removed from the customer lab.
• Replace the oil exhaust filter if it is leaking.
• Replace the oil return line if it is damaged.
• Clean the roughing pump filter trap when pump performance deteriorates.
Clean the Surfaces
Clean the external surfaces of the mass spectrometer after a spill or when they become dirty.
CAUTION: Potential System Damage. Use only the recommended cleaning methods and
materials to avoid damaging the equipment.
