Optimizing Performance

Autosamplers are more and more used in HPLC to improve the productivity
in the laboratories and the consistency and accuracy of analytical results.

The informations below will help you on how to optimize some parameters to
achieve best results for:

•

lowest carry-over for reliable quantitative data

•

Fast injection cycles for high throughput

•

Low delay volume for fast gradient

•

Precise injection volume
