    keyword=VDC efficiency dropping 3% per day ?

    I am concerned that maybe the VDC efficiencies are slowly dropping.
    Comparing a run tonight (fig 1) with one from last night (fig 2), there
    is a degradation of at least 3%. These were runs 1210 and 1171. I checked
    some other runs too. Both spectrometers appear to be dropping. Now, I
    realize there could be lots of false reasons for this, so maybe I am fooling
    myself, but I think it is worth watching. Is there a gas problem ?
