To verify sensitivity for 6120 Quad - G1978B Multimode, Positive SIM Modes

N O T E

The G6110A instrument does not support the multimode source without the Selection

valve. Use the option kit G2735H to enable the G6110A to work with the multimode source.

 

Preparation

1Transfer 1 mL of 5 ng/µL reserpine (Agilent G2423A) to a 50 mL volumetric flask. Use a clean graduated pipette.

2Dilute to the 50 mL mark with 75:25 methanol/water with 0.1% formic or acetic acid.

3Transfer 1 mL of the first dilution to a second 50 mL volumetric flask. Use a clean graduated pipette.

4Dilute to the 50 mL mark with 75:25 methanol/water with 0.1% formic or acetic acid.

This provides the final 2 pg/µL reserpine concentration required for performance verification.

5Transfer approximately 1 mL of the second dilution to a vial for use in the LC autosampler.
