About This Guide

It provides the instructions to install and configure the Electron Capture Detector

on your TRACE GC Ultra.

WARNING! The Electron Capture Detector (ECD) contains a 63Ni beta-emitting radioactive

source of 370 MBq.

NOTE For Conventions, Symbols, Safety Information, Wipe Test and Costumer Communications,

please refer to the TRACE GC Ultra Operating Manual.

Introduction

The upgrade kit contains all the material required to install the Electron Capture

Detector on your TRACE GC Ultra:

• ECD Assembly for TRACE

• ECD Control Card

• ECD Standard Outfit

•WipeTest

CAUTION The detector gas control module is not part of this kit.

Who Performs the Installation of the Kit

If, for any reason, the kit is not installed by Thermo Fisher Scientific technical
