SCIEX 5500 Low Sensitivity Repair and Agilent HPLC System Recovery

We were called for SCIEX 5500 low sensitivity repair on an LC-MS system paired with an Agilent HPLC. The mass spectrometer was not delivering proper sensitivity, and the connected HPLC stack also needed testing and follow-up service to keep the full system operating correctly. Diagnostics showed contamination in the front end of the mass spectrometer, affecting the ion source area and related front-end components. We cleaned the affected MS components, restored proper response, and completed tun...

Agilent 1100 Pressure Problem Repair

Agilent 1100 pressure problem repair was needed for a system that would not build pressure during startup after installation and connection. The HPLC repeatedly failed the pressure test even though the leak test passed, which prevented the system from moving into normal operation. Our diagnostics included connection review, firmware updates, pump service, and testing of the related support equipment. The pump seals and pump head components were serviced first, but the pressure problem remained....
