Recommended ICP Maintenance Schedule

This flyer provides a recommended ICP (Inductively Coupled Plasma) maintenance schedule for both ICP-OES and ICP-MS instruments. It outlines essential tasks categorized by frequency: daily, weekly, monthly, biannual, and annual to help ensure consistent performance and extend instrument life.

The schedule includes procedures such as cleaning and inspecting key components (torch, nebulizer, spray chamber, OPI, RF coil), replacing tubing and gas lines, performing calibrations (wavelength and mass), and maintaining supporting equipment like chillers, pumps, and exhaust systems. Special notes indicate tasks that are instrument-dependent, such as cleaning switching valves and inspecting syringes.

Designed as a quick-reference guide, the flyer emphasizes preventative maintenance practices and highlights when service calls may be necessary under a maintenance contract
