Can I use 100% methanol or IPA in the ACQUITY Premier instrument? - WKB268259

Article number: 268259

ENVIRONMENT

  • ACQUITY Premier

ANSWER

  • 100% IPA is okay to use on the ACQUITY Premier.
  • The titanium used in the ACQUITY Premier internal components is "Machined" titanium NOT the sintered Titanium with residuals used in the titanium filter sinkers, which forms titanium methoxide and drops out of solution as a white paste when in contact with aqueous solvent.
  • 100% methanol is okay to use on the ACQUITY Premier. 
  • Anhydrous methanol is the concern, however. On exposure to air when the bottle lid is removed, it is no longer 100% anhydrous.
  • **Remove only the titanium filter sinkers on the 100% methanol line when using an ACQUITY Premier.**
