Read MoreMaking Good UHPLC Column ConnectionsMay 28, 2012Avoiding extra column volume and unwanted peak dispersion
High resolution UHPLC systems are extremely sensitive to the introduction of extra column volume (dead volume), which will adversely affect your chromatography and result in unwanted peak dispersion. Therefore, when installing any UHPLC column, it is vital to ensure that the high pressure inlet tubing is fitted into the column port to the correct depth to avoid the introduction of any extra column volume. The incorrect positioning of the inlet tubing, ferrule and nut can easily result in up to a 23% loss in efficiency and an 11% deterioration in asymmetry for your chromatography...
