Hi all, Both iCAPs are now up and running. The software issue on the laser instrument is resolved and we have rectified the electronics issue which was causing issues with the detector on the solution instrument. Additionally the solution instrument has a new autosampler installed (which is calibrated and working correctly). Please note the probe arm is fixed on this new autosampler so you will break it if you drive it to a position where a vial is capped and it ramps down into the vial lid. Therefore please, please, please remember to uncap all of your samples and standards when using it. Otherwise you will break the (very expensive) carbon fibre probe arm and this will need to be replaced.
