Cannot initialize Autosampler.
Possible Solutions
• Autosampler not turned on. Turn on Autosampler.
• Autosampler not configured properly in
Xcalibur
software. Check Instrument
Configuration
• Disconnected cable between GC and autosampler. Verify connection.
• Autosampler communications malfunction. Contact Technical Support.
Cannot download methods to Autosampler.
Possible Solutions
• Discrepancy between method and configuration. Verify consistency between method and
instrument configuration.
• Autosampler communications malfunction. Contact Technical Support.
Contamination Symptoms
Chemical noise is always present in the DSQ II. Additionally, the spectra shown in
DSQ II
Tune
and Real-Time Display are auto-normalized, which can make the background appear
high when it really is not.
Some chemical noise does present itself, such as septum bleed after a series of injections, vial
sample bleed (which occurs if more than one injection is made from a sample vial), and
Siloxane peaks that appear in the chromatogram at regular intervals from focusing at the head
of the column or in the injector.
Other possible contamination sources include hydrocarbon contamination of the carrier gas,
rotary-vane pump, or instrument cleaning solvents.
Always wear clean, lint- and powder-free gloves when handling parts inside the vacuum
manifold, and assure that the carrier gas filter, carrier gas lines, and gas regulators are free of
contamination and leaks.
