FTIR Spectrometer TIPS AND TRICKS FOR YOUR LABORATORY

In the December 2013 newsletter we referred to the funnel method for troubleshooting instrument issues. Part of that process is checking the logbook. But what should be included in a logbook and when should the information be recorded?

Upon loading the method the following should be recorded: Method name, Initial Pressure, Flow rate, mobile phases (date made, clean, line filters present), Column ID (type and serial number), any temperature set points, and the number of injections from the previous day. After completing the first standard injection record the retention time of the last eluting peak in your analysis. Record these parameters daily and after any maintenance.

Gas Chromatographs should have the following recorded daily: Method name, Initial Pressure or Flow rate, Column ID and configuration (type, serial number, dimensions), oven temperature, detector output, and the number of injections from the previous day. After completing the first standard injection record the retention time of the last eluting peak in your analysis. Record the pressure of your supply gases a minimum of once a week or after every cylinder change.

Keeping a healthy logbook will eventually give a very good record of the instrument and column performance, which will help decrease downtime and keep you productive.
