C-6 Solvent Considerations
Solvent miscibility
Before you change solvents, refer to the table below to determine the
miscibility of the solvents to be used. When you change solvents, be aware
that:
• You can make changes involving two miscible solvents directly. Changes
involving two solvents that are not totally miscible (for example, from
chloroform to water), require an intermediate solvent (such as
methanol).
• Temperature affects solvent miscibility. If you are running a
high-temperature application, consider the effect of the higher
temperature on solvent solubility.
• Buffers dissolved in water may precipitate when mixed with organic
solvents.
When you switch from a strong buffer to an organic solvent, flush the buffer
out of the system with distilled water before you add the organic solvent.
