5.9.5 Column noise test
NOTE
When strongly retained compounds are slowly eluted from the column, excessive noise will be
observed.
To determine the column noise:
Turn off the pump and connect the column.
Restart the pump and allow the mobile phase to flow through the system. It is suggested that
you flush the column with a strong solvent for a few minutes before attaching it to the detector.
Set the gain to 12 and monitor the baseline for a few minutes. A suitable column will provide a
baseline that is 20–50mV above the solvent baseline.
NOTE
If the mobile phase contains acidic modifiers (e.g. CF
3
COOH), disconnect the detector and wash
the Chromatography system for 12h before starting to analyze unknown samples. This wash
should be performed after the column noise test is completed, but need not to be performed
after each analysis.
