5 Optimizing Performance
Using Solvent Calibration Tables
Using Solvent Calibration Tables
Agilent Solvent Calibration Tables provide an algorithm for the pump to 
automatically determine the correct compressibility associated with the current 
system pressure.
Solvent definition tables for most common solvents are now available for 
download.

How it Works
The compressibility of the mobile phase has an effect on the performance of the 
pump. For best flow accuracy and mixing performance, the compressibility 
parameter in the Method Settings of the pump shall be chosen according to the 
mobile phase being used. This method setting activates the algorithm 
associated with the Agilent Solvent Calibration Tables.
If your solvent is neither available in the user interface nor in the library, please 
use generic solvents. "Generic aqueous" gives good results for most solvent 
mixtures with at least 50 % water, which have similar properties as pure water. 
For other solvents with high organic percentage, "Generic organic" gives a good 
approximation.
