Solvent incompatibility
The solvent DMF (dimethyl formamide) leads to corrosion of the leak sensor.
The material of the leak sensor, PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride), is incompatible
with DMF.
Do not use DMF as mobile phase.
Check the leak sensor regularly for corrosion.
The waste drainage must go straight into the waste containers. The waste flow
must not be restricted at bends or joints.
