Here i am. Never have i turned off a GC before taking out a detector 😂 Pro tip: Never let the ignitor cable fall into the electronics side of the GC... Huge pain to get that recovered, especially with a PAL (Gerstel etc.) sampler... And talking about the FID jet. If you don't overtighten the column nut (crushing the graphite ferrule), change the ferrule when it gets brittle and don't let the FID standby over 250 °C for long times (let the flame on though and keep the temperature between 150 and 250 °C at any times) it lives years without any problem. If it gets clogged by graphite, ultrasound and some methanol helps. If it fuses because of prolonged temperatures over 300 °C it needs to be replaced. And this needs much care doing it because it fatigues the metal and it can break during disassembly! I've had one that was kept at 360 °C for a whole week... Fused the hole together and while disassembling it it just broke off... We had to get a new FID assembly because of that. Multiple thousand dollars because someone didn't think about cooling it to a moderate temperature after his sequence and then it wasn't used for a week...
