Does manganese oxide have detrimental effects on the internal surfaces of a UPLC system? - WKB122300
Article number: 122300
ENVIRONMENT
- Manganese oxide
- UPLC columns
- Column care and use
ANSWER
Yes. Manganese oxide interacts with metals in the system and the column, causing buildup of particulates and reducing column life.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
In water, manganese oxide has very low solubility promotes interaction with anions to salts, in particular iron. Orange in color, the particulates turn black in contact with iron. Any free metals should be removed prior to injection into the LC system.
