Poor reproducibility on H-Class - WKB48003

Article number: 48003

SYMPTOMS

  • Intermittently poor reproducibility (% RSD) based on peak area and height for an established customer method
  • All system diagnostics pass
  • System SQT precision tests pass

ENVIRONMENT

  • Empower
  • ACQUITY UPLC H-Class

CAUSE

The use of methanol as sample diluent causes high variability with default sample manager settings.

FIX or WORKAROUND

Reduce the sample draw rate to 15 µL/min and add a 0.2-µL post-draw air gap.
