Preparation
1 Do an autotune if necessary.
After the autotune has completed, you may need to wait up to 30 minutes
before continuing to allow the calibrant solution to be pumped out of the
Quad instrument. This minimizes any background signal from the calibrant.
You may need to further optimize the nebulizer pressure to achieve
maximum instrument sensitivity.
