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

General Operating<br />

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-<br />

20% organic in water for storage).<br />

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

water for 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<br />

wavelengths.<br />
