Prepare solvent reservoirs

General recommendations:
• When using the instrument for general chromatography (i.e., reverse
and/or normal phase and gel permeation [GPC]), Waters recommends
the use of high-quality lab glassware made of borosilicate glass for all
reservoirs (solvent, seal wash & needle wash).
• When using techniques such as ion chromatography, where glass
containers can contribute ionic contamination (sodium and/or chloride
ions), it is acceptable to use laboratory-grade polypropylene or
polyethylene containers as reservoirs.
• When using the instrument in combination with a mass spectrometric
detector, please refer to recommendations within the most recent
