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 />
