9.4 Cleaning Eluent Reservoirs
Before preparing new eluent, all eluent reservoirs should be rinsed thoroughly
(inside and out) with ASTM Type I (18 megohm-cm) filtered and deionized
water that meets the specifications listed in
Section 1.5 . If a reservoir still
appears dirty, or has a slimy film on the inside, clean it as instructed below.
Clean reservoirs in a capillary IC system every 3 months, as instructed below.
1. Dispose of any remaining chemicals according to municipal regulations.
2. Rinse the reservoir (inside and out) with ASTM Type I (18 megohm-cm)
filtered and deionized water.
3. Rinse the inside of the reservoir with isopropyl alcohol or methanol.
4. If algae or bacteria have left a slimy film on the reservoir, use an algicide
or disinfectant (dilute hydrogen peroxide, etc.).
5. Rinse cleaning chemicals out of the reservoir with ASTM Type I
(18 megohm-cm) filtered and deionized water.
6. Dry the reservoir with clean, particulate-free air.
9.5 Priming the DP/SP
The pump should be primed if the eluent has been changed, the eluent line is
new (empty), or the eluent line contains air. This section describes two
methods for priming the pump:
•
To prime the pump with the
PUMP PRIME
button, see Section 9.5.1 .
•
To prime the pump from the Pump panel in Chromeleon, see
Section 9.5.2 .
Although a 10 cc syringe (P/N 054578) can be used with either priming
procedure, using a syringe only if eluent lines are 100% empty or if the pump
is dry is recommended.
