ANSWER

High-purity solvents (LC-MS-grade or better) are required.

Use ultra‐pure water, defined as water that has been purified through a system that targets contaminants detrimental to UPLC-MS and HPLC-MS systems.
Note: Ultra‐pure water is sterile and contains no particles greater than 0.2 microns, no detectable ionizable compounds (>18‐MOhm.cm resistivity), and low UV absorbance at the monitoring wavelengths. Use of ultra‐pure water reduces the number of impurities in the water that can collect on the column during equilibration with the weak solvent.
