We are currently in the process of connecting an Agilent 1100 to a LCQ ion trap MS. I was wondering how important it would be to have a pulse dampener on this setup, I was under the impression that the MS would be sensitive to an LC pulse (i.e. would increase the baseline noise). If this is so could someone recommend a good manufacturer of pulse dampener to purchase from.

The 1100 has a large pulse dampener already. You do not really need more pulse dampening and most likley dont want the added system volume.

All HPLCS have pulse dampler builtin

Only some HPLCs use pulse dampeners.
