Poor Sensitivity
With increased
retention time
Carrier gas flow rate is too
low
Increase the carrier gas flow rate.
Locate and remove possible obstructions
in the carrier gas line.
Check the septum for leaks.
Check the injector/column ferrules for
leaks.
With normal
retention time
GC carrier gas line has leaks Run a leak test and correct leaks.
Syringe is leaking during
injection
Replace syringe or piston seals, if
necessary.
Split injection temperature
is too low
Increase the temperature of the injector.
Voltage is not reaching the
lens.
Replace the lens plate and springs if
damaged.
Remove debris or broken pieces in the
manifold.
Run a lens check diagnostic.
Check the connection by removing or
inserting the ion source.
Retention Times
Low reproducibility
DCC is drifting or unstable Monitor the column pressure or flow.
Check and replace the controller, if
necessary.
Injection technique is
inadequate
Pick injection technique suitable for the
injector and liner you are using.
Vaporization size of sample
inject larger than volume of
liner
Reduce the injected amount and/or
volume.
Column temperature is
unstable
Check the main oven door and cooling
flap.
Monitor the column temperature.
