A 1 of 14 is a pre-installation instruction document for Varian 320-MS LC/MS Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer. The document lists the requirements and checklist items that need to be satisfied before installation.
This document serves as a guide to ensure the installation of an Agilent 320-MS LC/MS Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer requires no more than three days. It outlines specific checklist items that must be satisfied before requesting installation from a Varian Representative.
Key requirements include verifying site safety compliance, ensuring adequate entrance width (at least 92 cm), sufficient bench space and load capacity, and proper environmental conditions such as temperature (16-30 °C) and humidity. The guide also details gas requirements for Nitrogen, Air, and Argon, as well as the need for a suitable exhaust system for the foreline pump.
| Minimum entrance width | 92 cm (36 in.) |
|---|---|
| Bench depth requirement (wall distance < 10.2 cm) | 94 cm (37 in.) |
| Operating temperature range | 16 to 30 °C (61-86 °F) |
| Relative humidity range | 20 to 80% |
| Nitrogen purity requirement | at least 99% pure |
| Air hydrocarbon limit | less than 0.1 ppm |
| Argon purity requirement | greater than 99.0% pure |
| Foreline pump exhaust rate | at least 2 L/min |
The entrance to the installation site must be at least 92 cm (36 in.) wide.
The temperature should be maintained between 16 and 30 °C (61-86 °F) with relative humidity between 20 and 80%.
The Nitrogen gas must be at least 99% pure.
Argon is required only for triple quadrupole instruments.
