Solvents

Even small quantities of other substances, such as additives,
modifiers, or salts can influence the durability of the materials. The
list of selected solvents was compiled based on research in the
pertinent literature and is only a recommendation by the
manufacturer. In the event of doubt, contact the technical support of
the manufacturer.
Solvents suitable for use in HPLC:

Acetone


Acetic acid (10–50%), at 25 °C (77 ºF)

Ethyl acetate

To avoid damage from leaks, always place solvent bottles in a solvent
tray on the device.
Organic solvents are toxic above a certain concentration.ensure that work
areas are always well-ventilated! Wear protective gloves and safety
glasses when working on the device!
Organic solvents are highly flammable. Since capillaries can detach from
their screw fittings and allow solvent to escape, it is prohibited to have
any open flames near the analytical system!
Only use solvents that have a self-ignition point higher than 150 °C under
normal ambient conditions!
The following solvents can attack the components of the device and are
therefore not suitable:

Mineral and organic acids (except in buffer solutions)

Bases (except in buffer solutions)

Liquids containing particles
