Application Training & Troubleshooting

Are you missing peaks on your 6890 GC?

If you’re used to seeing 12 compounds in your chromatogram, but now you’re only seeing 11, something might be wrong. It could be your equipment, your software, or your method.

We can troubleshoot the problem and get your GC back up and running. We’ve helped many clients with this issue, and we can help you too. We’ll start by analyzing your chromatogram to identify the cause of the missing peaks. Then, we’ll work with you to fix the problem and get your GC back up and running.

Some Common Causes of Missing Peaks

  • Equipment problems: The column could be dirty or damaged, or the oven temperature could be wrong.
  • Software problems: The method settings could be incorrect, or the software could be corrupted.
  • Method problems: The method itself could be wrong, or the sample preparation could be incorrect.
