How can I convert a Waters Spherisorb Cyano (CN) normal phase column to run a reversed phase method? - WKB84238

Article number: 84238

OBJECTIVE or GOAL

Change the solvent inside a Waters Spherisorb CN column (which ships in 96:4 Heptane:Isopropanol) to run a reversed phase method that uses water and acetonitrile mobile phases.

ENVIRONMENT

  • Waters Spherisorb
  • Cyano (CN)
  • Column
  • Normal Phase
  • Reversed Phase
  • Solvent Changeover

PROCEDURE

  1. Flush column with 20 column volumes of 100% isopropanol.
  2. Flush column with 10 column volumes of 50:50 Water:Acetonitrile  (do not have buffer in the water on this step, since the buffer can precipitate in the 100% IPA).
  3. Flush column with 10 column volumes of the initial reversed phase solvents (include buffers in this step, if buffers are used).
