If you read contemporary literature, more than one person recognized this problem and suggested modifying the tip so as to feed directly into the source. It fundamentally seems like a good idea to me.
I'm wondering, though, if anyone here has actually done that. If so, how did you go about removing the material? I THINK the tip is gold plated-did you replate the now exposed metal after modification? Also, does this present any problems with heat transfer from the line to the analyzer?
If it weren't for the fact that transfer lines seem to bring as much on Ebay as complete MSs, I'd buy a spare transfer line to modify. Obviously, I'm a bit hesitant to just jump into it with the one I have now.
With that said, I'd appreciate any input from anyone who has tried or is otherwise familiar with this modification.
