Reported risk: The scroll backing pumps on the mass spectrometer are fitted with PTFE composite tip seals that wear down over time, generating a fine dust which is removed through routine maintenance. However, under certain conditions, excessive amounts of dust may be drawn into the analyser housing and may lead to a loss in sensitivity.
