Standard Operating Procedure for tuning a quadrupole MS

[wchang]

Dear Friends,


Recently, I have to present a topic on " Standard Operating Procedure for tuning a quadrupole Mass Spectrometer".

Did anyone have such information about the "standard procedure" for tuning a "quadrupole" Mass Spectrometer" ?


Thanks for your help !!

your MS doesn't have an autotuning program?

Dear Sir,


Because I did not have a GC/MS but I need to present a project about the tuning of a GC/MS in detail (complete) procedure.

Could anyone can give me a help !!

You picked a difficult thing to present, because with modern GCMS systems tuning is an automated process.

1. Go to tune window.
2. Select proper set of tune parameters.
3. Start autotune.
4. Save tune file.

Maybe a presentation on why a GCMS system needs tuning would be a better choice.
