High Back Pressure

5.1.1

Finding the Source of High System Pressure

Total system pressure for the Dionex IonPac AG31 Guard Column plus the Dionex IonPac AS31

Analytical Column when using the test chromatogram conditions should be less than 3800 psi. If

the system pressure at the standard flow rate is higher than the maximum operational pressure for

the system, it is advisable to determine the cause of the high system pressure.
A.

Make sure that the pump is set to the correct eluent flow rate. Higher than recommended

eluent flow rates will cause higher pressure. Measure the pump flow rate if necessary with a

stopwatch and graduated cylinder to confirm flow rate is correct. Pre-weigh the graduated

cylinder and calculate the weight of eluent collected to obtain a more accurate measure of

flow.

Determine which part of the system is causing the high pressure. High pressure could be due

to plugged tubing or tubing with collapsed walls, an injection valve with a clogged port, a

guard or separator column with particulates clogging the bed support, a clogged High-

Pressure In-Line Filter, the suppressor, or the detector cell.

To determine which part of the chromatographic system is causing the problem, disconnect

the pump eluent line from the injection valve and turn the pump on. Watch the pressure; it

should be at its lowest (< 50 psi) with everything disconnected. The pressure with the eluent

generator connected should be < 200 psi. Continue adding system components (injection

valve, column(s), suppressor, and detector) one by one, while monitoring the system pressure.

The pressure should increase up to a maximum when the Guard and Analytical columns are

connected.

Measure the system back pressure by attaching a short piece of new 0.010” tubing in place

of the column.
