4 Maintenance
The iCAP 7000 has been designed for minimum maintenance.
However, it is critical that the sample introduction components be
checked regularly for contamination and wear. Failure to do so could
result in loss of instrument performance.
Therefore, routine user maintenance of the iCAP 7000 is mainly
concerned with keeping the instrument clean.
Before using any cleaning or decontamination methods except those
specified by the manufacturer, the user should check with the
manufacturer that the proposed method will not damage the
equipment.
4.1 Instrument Note: The iCAP 7000 instrument covers are made of ABS plastic
Cleaning which can be damaged by solvents and concentrated acids. ▲
Any spillage on the external covers or within the sample introduction

areas should be cleaned up immediately using appropriate safety
precautions.
Stains and marks on the covers should be removed with a soft cloth
moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use any solvent based
cleaners.
4.1.1 Sample Introduction Failure to maintain the sample introduction system can result in
System Cleaning and erroneous results, poor precision, poor detection limits and blockages.
Decontamination After use, the instrument shut down procedures from earlier in this
manual should be followed. Components contaminated with sample
residues should be cleaned.
It is recommended that several spares for each part are available in case
blockages, sample contamination and breakages happen during analysis.
Suitable protective clothing, glasses and gloves should be worn.
4.1.2 Torch Cleaning The O-rings in the metal torch mount (3 internal & 2 external) should
be inspected and replaced if any wear or damage is visible.
Warning: Allow at least 10 minutes for any hot components to cool

before removing them from the torch compartment. Care should be
taken to remove any broken glass from the Duo radial POP window if
a breakage occurs in the torch box. ▲
To remove salt deposits soak the torch in a dilute analytical-grade
surfactant for five minutes.
To remove metallic deposits from the tip, separate the torch quartz
section, immerse the tip of the torch in a 10 % acid solution for several
hours or until clean (a mixture of nitric and hydrochloric is normally
suitable).
After cleaning, rinse the torch with de-ionized water and place in a
drying oven at 95°C until it is dry. Rinsing with a volatile zero residue
organic solvent (propanol is suitable) will aid drying.
To clean the torch of carbon deposits, place the torch in a muffle
furnace and heat to 450°C. Open the door for a few seconds to allow
air to enter, close and allow the oven to reach 450°C again. Repeat this
several times to remove all the carbon. Allow the furnace to cool over
several hours, as this will prevent stress building up in the quartz.
4.1.3 Spray Chamber If the spray chamber becomes greasy and droplets form on the inside
Cleaning soak the spray chamber in a dilute analytical-grade surfactant for five
minutes.
If the spray chamber becomes dirty or deposits form inside it, soak the
spray chamber in a 10 % acid solution for two hours (a mixture of nitric
and hydrochloric is normally suitable). After cleaning rinse the spray
chamber in deionized water.
4.1.4 Nebulizer Rinse with deionized water, dilute acid or organic solvent at the end of
Cleaning each day, or aspirate a cleaning solution through it.
Warning: Do not put the concentric nebulizer in an ultrasonic bath or

heat it in an oven. ▲
4.1.5 Purged Optical Before attempting to clean the Purged Optical Path (POP) window
Path Window (note: there is also one below the torch on a Duo configuration
Cleaning instrument) turn off the plasma and allow thirty minutes for any hot
areas to cool down.
Open the small access door next to the sample compartment door and
withdraw the POP window assembly. Clean the POP window using a
lint free cloth and clean water. Repeat the cleaning process using
methanol then, when dry, re-insert the POP window into the fore optic
assembly.
Warning: Do not open this access door when the plasma is running,
there is a potential UV radiation hazard. All mirrors in the optical
system are coated so be sure not to touch the mirror below the radial
view POP window in the Duo configuration. ▲
If further cleaning is necessary, remove the quartz window from the
POP window holder and soak in a 10 % acid solution for two hours (a
mixture of nitric and hydrochloric is normally suitable). After acid
soaking rinse in de-ionized water, then with a volatile zero residue
organic solvent (propanol is suitable) to aid drying.
The window below the torch on a Duo instrument can be treated in the
same way.
4.2 Preventive Although minimum user maintenance is required, periodic checking of

performance is required by many laboratories. This is particularly
Maintenance
important for customers subject to external standards and regulations
(for example ISO9000, EPA or UKAS). Details of these options are
available from a local Thermo Fisher Office.
All electrical supplies, gas supplies and extraction must be checked to
ensure local health and safety guidelines and regulations are complied
with. The gas and cooling water should be checked for leaks at regular
intervals.
4.2.1 Water Chiller It is important that the cooling fluid used for your iCAP is made up
correctly as specified in the Pre Installation Guide.
Warning: Failure to maintain your chiller with the appropriate cooling
fluid may cause internal damage to your instrument.
An effective maintenance plan would include replacing the cooling fluid
with new fluid at least once every six months depending on the usage of
your instrument, and also to ensure that any air filters and water filters a
kept clean. Refer to your chiller documentation for more
information.
4.2.2 Water Filter The water filter fitted between the chiller and the iCAP inlet must be
checked for cleanliness to prevent loss of instrument performance. If
the filter appears dirty, flush out your chiller and clean the filter.
4.2.3 Gas Filters Gas filters fitted to your purge and plasma gas inlets must be checked
for cleanliness to prevent loss of instrument performance. If the filters
appear dirty, replace them and check the quality of your gas supplies.
4.3 Sprint Valve Routine maintenance of the Sprint Valve rapid sample introduction
system consists of daily and weekly cleaning of specific components.
Routine maintenance also includes checking sprint valve components
for leaks or other damage. Additional periodic maintenance tasks may
be required, including replacement of the following components:
peristaltic pump tubing, rinse tubing, and sample probe.
This document explains how to clean the sprint valve rapid sample
introduction system, inspect it for leaks, and replace damaged
components.
4.3.1 Regular Inspection It is important to verify that all system components are in good
of Components working order and are undamaged prior to operation.
Visually inspect these components:
Valve/pump module:
6-port valve
Vacuum pump ports
Peristaltic pump on the autosampler
Tubing— pay special attention to all tubing to ensure that no kinks
exist, as this condition will impair proper performance of the Sprint
Valve system by reducing flow rates. Check that tubing is not
rubbing against moving parts.
Cables
If you detect a leak or other damage to any Sprint Valve Rapid Sample
Introduction System component, you must replace it.
4.3.2 Cleaning the Cleaning the Sprint Valve Rapid Sample Introduction System is the
System primary maintenance task you perform. Failure to do so regularly
causes increased wear and reduces the system’s life.
You must clean the Sprint Valve Rapid Sample Introduction System
both daily and weekly to protect the instrument, prevent damage and
extend its life. It is especially important to clean up spills which may
infiltrate the instrument case/cabinet whereby damage to components
may result. It may also be necessary to chemically neutralize spills. The
following sections explain daily and weekly cleaning procedures.
The Sprint Valve Rapid Sample Introduction System is often operated
4.3.3 Daily External in environments where spills and exposure to vapors is common. Good
Cleaning maintenance requires that you clean the system daily.
It will be necessary to periodically disassemble the 6-port valve and
4.3.4 Cleaning the 6- clean the inside to prolong the life of the valve. Cleaning must be done
Port Valve in a clean area to prevent contamination of the valve.
NOTE
It is recommended to clean the 6-port valve every 20,000 cycles, or
approximately every 1-2 weeks. However, the frequency of cleaning
interval will vary depending on application.
The valve head should be cleaned regularly as part of the routine

maintenance of the sample introduction components; spray chamber,
nebulizer etc. To clean the valve, complete the following steps:
To clean the valve head start by removing all of the tubing connectors
from the 6 port valve:
Use the 7/64 hexagonal key provided to remove the three screws in the
front of the valve:
NOTE
Do not remove the valve body from the instrument as it will lose its
position and will need retraining using the home valve function in
the sprint valve Configurator software.
Remove the Stator and the separator, noting their orientation:
Carefully remove the rotor, from the valve:
Using a clean cloth, gently clean the channels, ports and surfaces of the
stator and rotor. If necessary use low-pressure, canned air to blow the
channels and ports free of any remaining debris.
Carefully replace the rotor into the valve, the rotor will only fit in the
correct orientation, forcing it will cause damage.
Place one of the screws through the stator and separator and reattach it
to the valve, in the orientation noted during removal:
Using the hexagonal key, tighten all three screws, to firmly set the parts
in place:
NOTE
The screws should be finger tight with the separator unable to move
independently, over tightening can cause damage to the rotor.
Reattach the tubing connectors and use the ‘manual cycle’ function in
the sprint valve Configurator software to check for leaks:
4.3.5 Checking for Leaks The tubing has a finite lifespan, and will wear out under normal use.
Standard maintenance procedures require that you periodically check
for leaks. To do so, complete the following steps:
• Visually inspect all tubing and valves for leaks or signs of
deterioration.
• Visually inspect the surfaces below all tubing for signs of liquid.
If you detect a leak or other damage to any component, you must
replace it. For more information, see the appropriate section in this
chapter.
4.3.6 Replacing the Tubing To replace the tubing, complete the following steps:
• Remove and replace all tubing as necessary, using care to
remove/replace tubing at barb fittings and at compression type
fittings without damaging those fittings to which they connect.
For more information on how to install the rinse tubing, see the
“installation guide”
4.3.7 Replacing or Reorienting The 6-Port valve assembly has a finite lifespan that is dependent upon
the 6-Port Valve the conditions and sample media to which it is exposed. Exposure to
higher sample solids levels reduces the valve lifespan.
To determine whether the 6-port valve requires replacement, inspect
the unit for these conditions:
• Valve dripping or leaking from the overflow hole behind port #4 at
bottom of the valve body.
• With no other apparent problems, air is present in the lines
(indicating a leak or poor seal).
The valve can also be reoriented so that the nebulizer port is as close as
possible to the nebulizer.
Note that any time the 6-port valve body is removed from its actuator;
the valve will require retraining (reinitialization).
To replace or reorientate the 6-port valve:

Remove all of the tube connectors to the 6 port valve:
Using the provided hex key (9/64), loosen the hex screw on the locking
collar which secures the base of the valve to the instrument:
Firmly but carefully remove the valve head:
Insert the new valve, or

reinsert the existing valve, at the desired angle. Rotate it so that the
nebulizer port will be as close as possible to the nebulizer. Pushing in
the valve to make sure that it is completely seated, there should be no
gap between the valve and the collar:
Use the hex key to tighten the locking collar:
Open the sprint valve Configurator software:
Expand the GUI using the arrow button on the right

side of the window and click ‘home valve’:
Reconnect the tubing:
Check for any leaks using the manual cycle function:
