LC/MS <strong>System</strong> Configuration <strong>Test</strong>— AB SCIEX TripleTOF 5600 <strong>System</strong><br />
Verify <strong>System</strong> Readiness<br />
Make sure the <strong>NanoLC</strong> Ultra system is meeting performance specifications.<br />
1. Connect effluent from the <strong>NanoLC</strong> Ultra system to the NanoSpray ion source and<br />
verify that the spray is stable by monitoring the background signal in the Analyst TF<br />
software.<br />
2. Equilibrate the LC/MS system with the starting conditions of the method outlined<br />
above.<br />
3. Make sure the spray is stable.<br />
4. Double-click Manual Tune in the left Navigation bar.<br />
5. Enter the key parameters in Table 1-3, and then click Start to begin acquisition.<br />
