  40. Once the tuning procedure has been conducted once, adjust Auxiliary and Nebulizer flows to maximize counts at best stability;
  41. Set the machine at mass 156 = Cerium Oxide -adjust gas flows (Auxiliary & Nebulizer) to minimize oxides;
  42. Re-set to mass 115 and repeat step 20);
  43. Set machine to mass 9 (Beryllium) and repeat step 20);
  44. Set machine to mass 238 (Uranium) and repeat step 20);
  45. Once the tuning procedure is complete, enter lens settings and gas flows in the log book;
  46. Run short term stability test -only acceptable if elements are ≤ 2% standard deviation and oxides < 10% of element (preferably < 5%);
  47. If stability test is OK, you are ready to run samples. If not, repeat tuning procedure.
