Troubleshooting
Introduction
This chapter provides you with helpful information for
troubleshooting possible detector and chromatographic system
problems. The information is organized in a table of symptoms,
possible causes, and remedies. Because many of the problems
attributed to the detector may actually be due to other components in
the chromatographic system, we have also included references and
potential solutions to these types of problems.
Troubleshooting Table
Symptom Cause Remedy
1. Spikes on baseline.
a. Continuous gas bubbles in
the flowcell.
a. Degas mobile phase. Connect back-
pressure device to flowcell (check
back-pressure rating).
b. Immiscible solvent bubbles
following mobile phase
changeover.
b. Flush flowcell with 2-propanol, then
with mobile phase.
c. Electrical interference.
c. Check electrical lines for good
connections and/or interference from
broadcast radiation. Check for ground
loops.
d. Extremely large fluctuations
in voltage on AC line.
d. Remove systems (
e.g.
, ovens) that
cause voltage fluctuations, isolate the
detector to a “quiet” circuit, or use
UPS (Uninterruptable Power
Supply).
