What is a recommended cleaning mobile phase to remove plasma lipid buildup on a reverse-phase column? - WKB68345

Article number: 68345

ENVIRONMENT

  • Reverse-phase columns
  • Column care and cleaning

ANSWER

Start cleaning the column in 80:20 methanol/water. Starting in 100% solvents will precipitate peptide residues and sugars that build up on the column from the matrix. Follow the 80:20 methanol/water with recommendations for column flushes involving nonpolar solvents.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

For additional information, see the appropriate column care and use manual for compatible solvents and cleaning suggestions.
