The LC/MS Liquid Chromatograph diverter valve is an integral part of the G1978B

safety system. The LC mobile phase flow must always be connected to the diverter

 

 

valve inlet filter. Never bypass the diverter valve and connect directly to the

 

nebulizer. If the diverter valve is used in a manner not specified by Agilent

 

Technologies, the protections provided by the diverter valve may be impaired.
