Agilent Technologies 4000 MS External Ionization User Guide
The document serves as a user guide for the Agilent Technologies 4000 Mass Spectrometer when configured with an external ion source. It details the operational configurations, including External Electron Ionization (EI), Positive Chemical Ionization (PCI), and Negative Chemical Ionization (NCI). The text explains how ions are formed in the external source, transferred to the ion trap analyzer, and analyzed.
The guide provides step-by-step instructions for starting the instrument, performing diagnostic tests, adjusting system temperatures, and conducting mass calibration. It also covers method creation, data acquisition procedures, sample injection via a SampleList, and software interface usage for viewing parameters and activating methods.
