What should I use to flush my ACQUITY BEH HILIC column sitting in 80:20 acetonitrile/water to a normal phase solvent like hexane? - WKB226893

Article number: 226893

ENVIRONMENT

  • Column care and use
  • ACQUITY BEH HILIC
  • ACQUITY Premier BEH HILIC

ANSWER

Flush the ACQUITY BEH HILIC column for 20 column volumes with 100% acetonitrile to remove the water; follow with 100% iso-propanol for 20 column volumes. Then follow with the normal phase solvent for 50 to 200 column volumes to equilibrate the column.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Use of 100% acetonitrile prior to 100% IPA will lower the back pressure of the mixing solvents because most of the water will be gone by the time the IPA is introduced.
