Ion trap 500-MS (Varian) as HPLC detector
Conditions used for specs determination: Samples were loaded into a 10 μl-loop and introduced into the source by mobile phase (100% acetonitrile) stream at a rate of 0.2 ml/min, generating a peak of about 5 s width. Selected settings:
- Needle voltage: 5000 V in positive mode
- Trap Damping Gas Flow Rate: 0.8 mL/min
- Spray Chamber Temperature: 50 °C
- Drying Gas: 20 psi, 350 °C
- Nebulizing Gas: 50 psi
- Sprayshield Voltage: 600 V
- Capillary Voltage: 80 V
- Electron Multiplier Voltage: 1305 V
