Preventative Maintenance will vary greatly depending on what type and how many samples you run each day.

We run 50-75 injections each day and over night so we pretty much change the lnserts daily. When I ran 8270 GC/MS we changed them daily along with clipping about 4 inches of column daily. Septa are usually good for 100-300 injections depending on temperature of the injection port.

If you have a log book from the last year where you preformed maintenance as needed, look through that and get the average time between maintenance and take about 70% of that and make it your schedule. That should cover most problems you would normally encounter before they happen.
