Article number: 220278
SYMPTOMS
- Poor peak area and height reproducibility
- Lower than normal system back pressure
- Leakage at sample syringe connection
ENVIRONMENT
- Alliance HPLC System
- 2695 Separations Module
CAUSE
Loose sample syringe. If not screwed in tightly, the Alliance sample syringe can loosen over time due to vibrations from multiple injection cycles.
FIX or WORKAROUND
- Hand-tighten the sample syringe firmly.
- Purge the injector.
- Perform the compression test to confirm that there are no leaks.
