This document is an addendum to the Site Preparation Manual for the G2570A GC/MSD System, providing information about the features and characteristics of the system.
The document serves as an addendum to the 5973N MSD Site Preparation Manual, detailing unique requirements for installing the G2570A GC/MSD system. It describes the principal subsystems, including the MSD-ready 6850A GC and the 5973N diffusion pumped mass spectrometer, emphasizing that communication between the software and GC is not supported.
Key site preparation areas covered include space and weight dimensions for major components, specific electrical requirements such as voltage ranges and power consumption, air conditioning needs regarding temperature and humidity, carrier gas specifications for helium, and laboratory supply considerations. The manual also provides critical safety warnings regarding electrical grounding, hazardous voltages, hot surfaces, and chemical exhaust venting.
The largest recommended capillary column has a 250 µm ID.
No, the software will not communicate with the GC and thus will not store GC parameters nor collect data from GC detectors.
It includes a 5973N MSD diffusion pumped mass spectrometer which supports EI operation only.
