Reduction of the background level and compound carryover for LC/MS applications

• Wait what?! Who knew!? There are so many things that a mass spec can do.

• I've used it for years, yes this may be true.

• I've processed some samples, more than a few.

• But between me and you, I had no idea all the things it could do!

• From sample prep to separation, you just won't believe…

• All of the tips and tricks we have up our sleeve.

• So, take a few minutes, about 15 should do.

• And learn all the things your mass spec can do.

In this webinar, there will be a discussion on ways to reduce the instrument background level and how to minimize compound carryover using autosampler’s cleaning parameters options. For the instrument background, step by step instructions will be provided how to clean the entire LC/MS system. For the carryover reduction, suggestions for selecting washing solvents as well as instrument settings for the autosampler settings to minimize compound carrover.
