Making and Using Eluents that Contain Solvents
When mixing solvents with water remember to mix solvent with water on a volume to volume basis. If a procedure requires
an eluent of 90% acetonitrile, prepare the eluent by adding 900 mL of acetonitrile to an eluent reservoir. Then add 100 mL of
deionized water or eluent concentrate to the acetonitrile in the reservoir. Using this procedure to mix solvents with water will
ensure that a consistent true volume/volume eluent is obtained. Premixing water with solvent will minimize the possibility of
outgassing.
When purging or degassing eluents containing solvents, do not purge or degas the eluent excessively since it is
possible that a volatile solvent can be "boiled" off from the solution.
NOTE
!
Always degas and store all eluents in glass or plastic eluent bottles pressurized with helium. Only helium can be
used to purge and degas ionic eluents containing solvents, since nitrogen is soluble in solvent containing
eluents.
Avoid creating high viscosity pressure fronts that may disrupt the column packing when the eluent solvent component is
changed. To do this, equilibrate the column for approximately 10 minutes with an eluent containing only 5% of the current
solvent type. Exchange this eluent for an eluent with 5% of the new solvent type and then equilibrate the column and allow
the system to stabilize (approximately 10 minutes). Next run a 15-minute gradient from 5% of the new solvent type to the
highest percentage that will be used during the new analysis protocol.
Properly equilibrate the column when changing to a solvent-free eluent system after using eluents containing solvent. First
equilibrate the column with 1 to 5 percent of the current solvent for approximately 5 minutes. Next run a 10-minute gradient
from the eluent with 1 to 5 percent of the current solvent to the new solvent free aqueous eluent.
The Cation Self-Regenerating Cation Suppressor (CSRS 300) must be operated in the AutoSuppression
External Water Mode when using eluents containing solvents. Dionex recommends the Chemical
Suppression Mode for long term trouble free operation.
CAUTION
!
Acetonitrile is not compatible with the Cation Regenerant Cartridge when using an AutoRegen Accessory
Unit. The acetonitrile diffuses into the TBAOH regenerant, concentrates during recirculation and
eventually hydrolyzes to acetate and ammonia, depleting the capacity of the AutoRegen Cation Regenerant
Cartridge. If acetonitrile is used with suppressed conductivity, a pressurized vessel rather than the
AutoRegen must be used.
