Running the mass spectrometer at high flow rates
The ACQUITY UPLC
®
system runs at high flow rates. To optimize
desolvation, and thus sensitivity, run the ACQUITY
®
Xevo TQ MS system at
appropriate gas flows and desolvation temperatures. IntelliStart software
automatically sets these parameters when you enter a flow rate, according to
the following table.

page C-19 .
Installing the reservoir bottles
Use standard reservoir bottles (30 mL) for instrument setup and calibration.
Use the Low-volume Adaptor Kit (included) to infuse smaller volumes. The
low-volume vials have a volume of 1.5 mL.
Required materials
Chemical-resistant, powder-free gloves

Caution:
To avoid accidental spillage damaging the instrument, do not
store large volume solvent reservoirs on top of the instrument.
