Running U-HPLC: <strong>Practical</strong> <strong>Considerations</strong><br />

Strong Wash Solvent<br />

• Choose based on the chemistry application<br />

• 100% organic solvent is acceptable<br />

– Except THF<br />

– Do not add acid or base in 100% organic solvent<br />

• Prime using the needle wash function<br />

• Default value is 200 µL<br />

– 200 µL is a typical value for this function<br />

Weak Wash Solvent<br />

• Purges needle and syringe fluid path<br />

• Must be compatible with sample solvent<br />

• For best results, weak wash solvent should be<br />

equivalent to the following (excluding buffers):<br />

– mobile phase composition (for isocratic separations)<br />

– initial gradient condition (for gradient separations)<br />

– If you dilute the samples, match the weak wash solvent to<br />

the sample diluent<br />

• Degassed for good hydraulic properties<br />
