Hi everyone,
We’re having some issues with importing data from ICP-MS. We have an ASI RESOlution 19nm laser and an Agilent 8900 ICP-MS/MS.
We have already imported several sessions and successfully reduced the trace element data we acquired. However, without changing anything feature/setting in the MassHunter software, we are now having some issues with importing the data files of the last two sessions. After uploading the files onto Iolite, some of the csv files are loaded as ‘AnalysisRef’.d samples whereas others are simply imported as their file name. The first ones are imported as separate channels, e.g. iolite imports the U238 channel with some analyses, while the remaining are loaded as separate “U238 Agilent” channels. This means that the Li6, U238, etc, channels have most of the analyses, and others are included in separate channels. When we check the properties of these ‘Agilent’ channels, they are missing some information, such as dwell times, the pre- and post-shif mass (which are the same, ofc). Can’t figure out what has gone wrong, but when I check the .csv files of the analyses they seem similar.
Maybe someone has encountered a similar problem?
Thank you very much in advance,
André
