Gases

[From the wall out]

• Helium UHP [LTQ] (40psi)
• Nitrogen UHP [HCD] (100psi)
• Nitrogen 99% (this is the normal nitrogen in the stock room) [sheath & Orbitrap bath] (100psi)
• Nitrogen Normal (100psi) [for UPLC]

UPLC

• Troubleshooting the Eksigent UPLC system
• UPLC (Fittings/tubing/flow rates)
  • 10 micron needles provide best nano-spray at 200-300 nl/min

Tuning/Calibration

• Tuning and Calibration
• Klaus's Cleaning Mix
