    Using the Module Hints for Successful Use Hints for Successful Use The presence of algae in HPLC systems can cause a variety of problems that may be incorrectly diagnosed as instrument or application problems. Algae grow in aqueous media, preferably in a pH range of 4 – 8. Their growth is accelerated by buffers, for example phosphate or acetate.

  • Page 59: Solvent Information

    Using the Module Solvent Information Solvent Information Observe the following recommendations on the use of solvents. • 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 0.22 µm filters.
  • Page 60 Using the Module Solvent Information General Information about Solvent/Material Compatibility Materials in the flow path are carefully selected based on Agilent’s experiences in developing highest-quality instruments for HPLC analysis over several decades. These materials exhibit excellent robustness under typical HPLC conditions. For any special condition, please consult the material information section or contact Agilent.
  • Page 61 Using the Module Solvent Information Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) Polyphenylene sulfide has outstanding stability even at elevated temperatures. It is resistant to dilute solutions of most inorganic acids, but it can be attacked by some organic compounds and oxidizing reagents. Nonoxidizing inorganic acids, such as sulfuric acid and phosphoric acid, have little effect on polyphenylene sulfide, but at high concentrations and temperatures, they can still cause material damage.

  • Page 64 Using the Module Solvent Information Titanium (Ti) Titanium is highly resistant to oxidizing acids (for example, nitric, perchloric and hypochlorous acid) over a wide range of concentrations and temperatures. This is due to a thin oxide layer on the surface, which is stabilized by oxidizing compounds.
  • Page 65 Using the Module Solvent Information Platinum/Iridium Platinum/Iridium is inert to almost all common acids, bases and solvents. There are no documented incompatibilities for HPLC applications. Fluorinated polymers (PTFE, PFA, FEP, FFKM, PVDF) Fluorinated polymers like PTFE (polytetrafluorethylene), PFA (perfluoroalkoxy), and FEP (fluorinated ethylene propylene) are inert to almost all common acids, bases, and solvents.
