Plain-English summary
AB Sciex, LLC is recalling ten units of the Citrine QTRAP Mass Spectrometer (Part Number 5063685) due to a potential fire and equipment damage hazard. Under rare circumstances, a leak of highly flammable solvent at the ion source probe, combined with an electrical discharge, may result in a flame on the probe and possible ejection of the electrode assembly.
