I have enjoyed learning from this forum for many years now, but have not had the need to post until now.
I tried searching both current postings and the archive, but could not find anything related to my question. I apologize if I missed a relevant thread.
We have a non-working Agilent G1969A LC/MSD TOF (the MS is non-functional). I want to recover the LC portion to run as a stand alone 1100 HPLC. (It has a PDA UV detector built in.) Agilent claims we will need to purchase a different software package and controller board to make that work. (To the tune of ~ $50K or more!!)
That just doesn't make sense to me, as the current software must have run the LC portion of the instrument and collected data from the PDA in its original state, so I am hoping that the software package we already have can be modified to run the HPLC with just UV detection.
Does anyone out there have any experience in attempting to do this? Suggestions about how to go about it?
Thank you in advance for any ideas/comments/suggestions/etc. you might have for me.
