Solvent and Additive Information 

To protect optimal functionality of the instrument observe these 
recommendations on the use of solvents and additives: 

 

 

Use only solvents and additives that are compatible with all parts in 
the flow path. 

 

 

Follow any specific recommendations presented in other sections of 
this manual. Refer also to the 

operating manuals for all modules in 

the LC or IC system

. They may provide additional guidelines and 

information.
