Q
troubleshooting issues 3 ways
A
with instrumentation
such as wear and tear on parts 00:44 contamination in the system for example 00:46 we can look at the LC troubleshooting 00:48 from the standpoint of columns is the 00:50 column the right one for the sample at 00:52 hand in the case of gradients has it 00:54 been equilibrated correctly and we can 00:57 look at troubleshooting from method 00:58 development viewpoint are your 01:00 conditions correct have you modified 01:02 your flow rate to account for a change 01:04 in column dimension

Q
troubleshooting is un
A
so forth when it 01:07 comes to troubleshooting 90% of the 01:10 issue comes down to understanding how to 01:12 identify where the issue is coming from 01:15 attaching a symptom to the actual source 01:18 often we get chromatographer x' who call 01:22 with a symptom and they want us to help 01:25 with a solution my peak shapes are 01:28 terrible for example our technical 01:31 support people can only begin to help 01:34 them by asking a lot of questions 01:36 designed to help exclude potential 01:39 sources and understand enough to be able 01:43 to determine whether they need to be 01:45 thinking about the instrument the column 01:48 or the method

Q
when micron sized particles
A
micron sized particles are packed into a 00:35 column and liquid is pushed through 00:37 these particles by your pump there's a 00:39 lot of resistance it's this resistance 00:41 to flow that causes back pressure
6
Q
what affects column back pressure:
A
- Solvent back pressure
- Flow rate
- climb length
- particle diameter
he particle size is reduced by one-half 02:38pressure rises by a factor of four - column diameter
