I have a turbo v ion source that shows a glowing blue/purple light at the tip of the Heated Nebulizer corona discharge needle, even when it is not in use and turned out of ion path as it should be when using TIS probe. It only happens in negative mode. It is not arcing to the cutain plate, just a slight noticeable glow at the tip of the corona needle when observed through the front window. My FSE has rebuilt the HN probe and components and also installed a new TIS probe. Still glows when in negative mode. Note also having poor sensitivity in negative mode as well and jagged peak shapes during infusion. Any ideas? Are the symptoms related?

Loss the contact closure signal
our 7600 couple with nanoLC Ultimate 3000 via contact closure. it has run without any loss connection during the batch. Just yesterday, the last injection keep equilibrating system until the LC finished the gradient run. We closed the software and power off LC and MS then started again but it did not help. The Dionex engineer also checked their LC and triggerring cable found both are ok.
Methods for OPI electrode cleaning for Echo® MS system electrodes
Depending on the samples you are running on the system, it is possible for the Open Port Interface (OPI) electrode to become dirty or occluded over time. Below are two different cleaning strategies that can help you maintain your Echo® MS system and keep your OPI...
Using Scheduled Ionization to reduce system ion load for proteomics data acquisition
When analyzing highly complex samples from biological matrices, there can be significant amounts of material that elute in the wash cycle of the LC run, depending on the up-front sample preparation used. The Scheduled Ionization mode, available in both SCIEX OS...

This macro-enabled workbook is designed to help with creating a formatted analysis list for the Echo® MS system, using 96-well plate maps or lists
How to optimize sample plating to run Echo MS system in ‘Fast acquisition mode’
The Echo MS system can acquire data extremely rapidly, at 1 second per sample. To achieve this speed, it should be ensured that there is adequate time between ejections for the analyte signal to return to baseline between ejections. Plating your samples such that you...
Adapting a SCIEX high flow source for microflow LC
To set up a SCIEX high flow source for microflow LC (Turbo V ion source, DuoSpray source or IonDrive Turbo V ion source), first you must replace the wider bore electrodes with more narrow bore hybrid electrodes. Note with the OptiFlow Turbo V ion sources, there are...
Tips to maximize electrode lifetime for Echo MS system
While it’s easy to think of the Echo® MS system as an ultrafast LC system in front of the SCIEX Triple Quad 6500+ mass spectrometer, the system operates on fundamentally different principles. For this reason, it requires different routine maintenance to keep it...
Echo MS system maintenance operations
The Echo® MS system is a robust platform, and like any other platform, requires some routine maintenance on a regular basis. Here are 3 maintenance steps that can help you ensure consistent, reliable performance: Immediately before use or after switching carrier...
A rising star in food allergen research: proteomics of shellfish allergen
It’s important to know what you’re eating, especially if you suffer from a food allergy.
About 220 million people worldwide live with a food allergy.1 These numbers, along with the complexity and severity of conditions, continue to rise. In America, there are about 32 million food allergy sufferers—5.6 million of those are children under the age of 18.2.2 That’s 1 out of every 13 children, or about 2 in every classroom. From a financial perspective, the cost of food allergy childcare for US families is up to $25 billion
