Taking a systematic approach to restarting liquid chromatography instrumentation following the COVID-19 shutdowns will save money and time in the long run.
We consider some of the details associated with preparing a column for storage, with an eye toward choices that will pay dividends in future use.
Several factors influence the useful lifetime of high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) columns. In this instalment we consider some of the details associated with preparing a column for storage, with an eye towards choices that will pay dividends in future use of the column.
Delivering samples to the analytical column in “clean” mobile phase is important for robust methods and high-quality results.
