Operation Manual 3

About This Manual

This manual contains information for operating and

maintaining the Agilent 7200 Accurate-Mass Quadrupole

Time-of-Flight GC/MS system.

1 “Introduction”

Chapter 1 describes general information about the 7200 Q-TOF

GC/MS, including a hardware description, and general safety

warnings.

2 “Installing GC Columns”

Chapter 2 shows you how to prepare a capillary column for use

with the MS, install it in the GC oven, and connect it to the MS

using the GC/MS interface.

3 “Operating in Electron Impact (EI) Mode”

Chapter 3 describes routine operations in EI mode such as

setting temperatures, monitoring pressures, tuning, venting,

and pumpdown.

4 “Operating in Chemical Ionization (CI) Mode”

Chapter 4 describes additional tasks necessary to operate in CI

mode.

5 “Using the Removable Ion Source”

Chapter 5 shows you how to change the removable ion source.

6 “General Maintenance”

Chapter 6 describes general maintenance procedures for the

7200 Q-TOF GC/MS.
