Chemical Ionization Using Fixed Parameters
The reaction parameters that are normally set by the Auto Control can also be
set manually. For Chemical Ionization using fixed parameters, the instrument
uses the Ionization Time entered in the method editor. The reaction time that
will be used is determined as follows:
TimeIonizationx
TimeIonizationMaximum
TimeReactionMaximum
=TimeReaction Set
where the maximum reaction and ionization times are entered below the
Ionization Time.
Using Liquid CI Reagents
Introduction
Liquids may be used with the Saturn GC/MS as CI reagents in addition to the
standard CI reagent gases. The liquid is placed in a reservoir and connected in
place of the tank of CI gas. The vapor pressure of the liquid reagent is usually
sufficient to provide a constant, low flow to allow operation in the CI mode.

The figure below shows a functional block diagram of the CI plumbing setup for
using liquid reagents.
