2 Optimizing Performance
Sampler issues
• For fast gradient use valve to bypass function after the sample is transferred
to the column. This function results in smaller delay times and sharper
gradient curves.
• When doing automated gradient runs, use the fast composition
change/reconditioning function to equilibrate the system between runs.
Column thermostat issues
• Use the column brackets to put the column in contact with the heat
exchanger.
• Do not use the solvent pre-heating path (heat exchanger in the column
compartment) when you are working with capillary columns. The
dispersion will be too high.
DAD issues
• At very low flow rates, bubbles might form in the cell due to low pressure in
the cell. This might cause the detector signal to have spikes and noise.
Adding a 50 µm capillary to the outlet of the cell can reduce this effect.
• To avoid cell damage due to overpressure, set the upper pressure limit to
50 bar greater than the typical operating pressure.
