Solvent Considerations
C.1 Introduction
C.1.1 Preventing contamination
For information on preventing contamination, refer to
Controlling Contamination in
Ultra Performance LC/MS and HPLC/MS Systems
(part number 715001307), or visit
www.waters.com.
C.1.2 Clean solvents
Clean solvents provide reproducible results and permit you to operate with minimal
instrument maintenance.
A dirty solvent can cause baseline noise and drift. It can also block the solvent filters
with particulate matter.
C.1.3 Solvent quality
Use HPLC-grade solvents for the best possible results. Filter solvents through 0.45-µm
filters before their use. Solvents distilled in glass generally maintain their purity from
lot to lot; use them to ensure the best possible results.
C.1.4 Preparation checklist
The following solvent preparation guidelines help to ensure stable baselines and good
resolution:
•
Filter solvents using a 0.45-µm filter.
•
Degas the solvent, sparge it, or perform both operations.
•
Stir the solvent.
•
Keep solvents in a place free from drafts and shock.
Warning:
To avoid chemical hazards, always observe Good Laboratory
Practices when operating your system.
