Active-Time Management That Accurately Determines Downtime

Instrument Startup/Shutdown Time Management Time Management for Continuous Analysis

The mass spectrometer has to be operated in a vacuum condition, so the downtime for starting up and stopping the instrument is very long. By displaying the time required for continuous analysis in real time, the time when the current continuous analysis will finish can be accurately
Since the amount of time that the system takes when starting up or stopping is displayed in real time, it is easy to accurately determine when confirmed. It can increase the instrument operating time (active time) by reducing the instrument downtime required during continuous
maintenance of ion source or analysis is possible. Moreover, tasks that until now needed to be performed by the user, such as leak checks analysis or while switching between different users. In addition, because this function makes it easier to schedule the timing for analysis
upon system startup and auto tuning, are now performed automatically. preparations, such as sample preparation and pretreatment, based on the finish time of the previous analysis, it enables analytical processes
to be performed more efficiently, which can help improve work-life balance.

Auto Startup and Shutdown

By connecting the outlet ends of two different columns to the MS unit at the same, 289.9>219.9
Time Management during Sample Injection Port Maintenance different application data can be acquired without shutting OFF the MS vacuum. 291.9>221.9
Since no flow restrictors are used, there are no losses from adsorption or other
The Easy sTop function, used to safely maintain the sample injection port without releasing the vacuum, displays the remaining time factors, and methods and retention times used for analysis with one column can
(cooling-down time) when the septum or the insert can be replaced in real time. Downtime caused by maintenance can be minimized by continue to be used unchanged. The new large-capacity differential vacuum system
understanding the accurate remaining time. ensures sensitivity does not decrease even when two columns are connected.
Furthermore, by using a ClickTek nut on the sample injection port, the port can be opened or closed without tools, by simply using fingers to Due to the separation from impurities and separation between isomers, the system
twist a lever. That enables faster and easier insert replacement than ever before. can switch between different types of columns for measurements without actually
replacing columns.
