Preparing to Run <strong>UPLC</strong>; Injection and Detection Paramters<br />

General Operating Recommendations<br />

Use only Pyrex (Borosilicate 3.3) bottles. DURAN bottles<br />

dissolve at high pH (>9).<br />

Use highest quality solvents, water, buffers and additives.<br />

Flush buffers out of system with water after use (use 10-20%<br />

organic in water for storage).<br />

Keep all 4 solvent lines primed (use 10-20% organic in water for<br />

unused lines).<br />

Keep seal wash primed.<br />

Re-prime solvent lines before starting.<br />

Use 100 µL mixer for TFA/ACN gradients at low wavelengths.<br />

Mobile Phase Preparation<br />

Filtration on membrane:<br />

Also: if Biolab solvents: Use ULC/MS grade only!<br />

Actions : Solvent degassing and filtration<br />

— Potential of impurities in filtration<br />

o GHP, PTFE, Nylon, or PVDF<br />

— Pores diameter : 0.2 µm.<br />

— Volatile additives may evaporate.<br />
