Agilent 6200 Series TOF and 6500 Series Q-TOF LC/MS System Quick Start Guide
This Quick Start Guide provides brief instructions to help new users get started with Agilent 6200 Series TOF or 6500 Series Q-TOF LC/MS instruments. It introduces the MassHunter Workstation software and outlines the workflow from instrument start‑up to data review.
The guide walks through six main steps: launching the Data Acquisition software, preparing LC modules, preparing the TOF/Q‑TOF instrument, setting up and running a method, reviewing results with Qualitative Analysis, and optionally performing quantitation. Links to related manuals, online help, and training resources are also provided.
