Common HPLC Mistakes
  • Not knowing when the column/system is equilibrated
  • Using the wrong sample injection solvent, or not knowing that it is important
  • Using the wrong column, or not knowing how to choose a different one
  • Not maintaining a clean system
  • The inability to recognize when the system is not working correctly
  • Storing the system and/or columns in the wrong solvent, or not knowing that this is important to longer system and column lifetimes
