Follow the recommendations for avoiding the growth of algae, see the pump
manuals.
Small particles can permanently block capillaries and valves. Therefore,
always filter solvents through 22 µm filters.
Avoid or minimize the use of solvents that may corrode parts in the flow path.
Consider specifications for the pH range given for different materials such as
flow cells, valve materials etc. and recommendations in subsequent sections.
