You rely on your equipment. Your equipment should rely on ATG.
Analytical Technologies Group specializes in the maintenance and repair of the Agilent® 6100 Series Single Quadrupole LC/MS and other Agilent® mass spectrometers. We focus on servicing only a narrow range of product lines which allows our service engineers to maintain an unparalleled knowledge of the Agilent® 6100 Series Single Quadrupole LC/MS and other lines we service. We keep parts in stock to be ready whenever a problem arises, ensuring your downtimes are always minimal. With our service contract plans, your Agilent® 6100 Series Single Quadrupole LC/MS is supported for lasting reliability and consistent performance throughout its operational life.
Tips for keeping your Agilent® 6100 Series Single Quadrupole LC/MS in good working order:
Check the oil mist filter weekly. If oil is found in the oil mist filter, open the gas ballast valve counter-clockwise just enough to return the condensed oil back to the pump.Close the gas ballast valve clockwise.
Check the level and color of the pump fluid weekly.
Add pump fluid when the pump fluid level is low. Use only the rough pump fluid appropriate for your pump (SW60 oil for Agilent MS40+,or Inland 45 oil for Edwards E1M18). Any other fluids can substantially reduce pump life and invalidates the pump warranty.
When symptoms indicate contamination in the calibrant delivery system, especially when the contamination appears during tuning but not during data acquisition, flush the calibrant delivery system.

Agilent® 6100 Series Single Quadrupole LC/MS Troubleshooting Tips:
If your system displays “No Signal (No MS Signal)”:
Check the Nebulizer/Probe: A high back pressure can indicate a plugged nebulizer. Ensure there is a constant drip when the system is in standby mode; a pressurized spray indicates a clog. Flush the system with a pure mobile phase like 50:50 water/acetonitrile to clear the path.
Clean the Interface Cones: Dirty, blocked, or damaged interface cones negatively affect sensitivity. Inspect them for debris and clean them carefully with a cotton swab dipped in deionized water.
Check Liquid Flow Path: The flow path, including the column, must be clear. Flush the entire system to ensure no buffers are present, as they can plug the nebulizer.
If your system displays “High Back Pressure”:
Flush the LC System: Flush the system with pure mobile phase to ensure the flow path is clear of buffers and other solids.
Clean the Nebulizer: A plugged nebulizer will cause high back pressure and could damage the LC flow cell. Clean or sonicate the probe in methanol and water.
