Identifying A Part
To identify a part, you need to know where it is located in the instrument or the part’s
relationship to a particular functionality of the instrument. Use the categories in the table of
contents to find a location or functionality that relates to the component you need. For
example, if you know the part is related to the calibration gas, look in the Calibration Gas
Components category. Then refer to the illustrations in that category to visually identify that
particular part.
IMPORTANT Only components with a part number are available for purchase. The part
you are looking for may be shown in an illustration, but if it does not list a part number, it
is not available.
Note The parts in this chapter are compatible with all GC-MS systems.
