Solvent Recommendation for Agilent 1290 Infinity and 1290 Infinity II and 1260 Infinity II Flexible Pumps
Solvent Handling
Handling of Normal Phase Solvents
Observe the following recommendations when using normal phase solvents:
• Always use fresh, filtered solvents. Exchange solvents every second day.
• Prevent reactions caused by heat, light and oxygen. Use brown, firmly
closed bottles.
• Whenever possible, use stabilizers, e.g. butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) for
ethyl ether.
• Use isopropanol (IPA) to flush out the previous solvent when converting a
system from normal phase to reverse phase, or vice versa.
• Store all unused channels in IPA.
• Don’t turn off the pump while it is filled with low boiling solvents. Generate
a small flow throughout the used channels when the pump is not in use.

CAUTION
Corrosion of valves
Normal phase balls/valves corrode quickly in aqueous solutions and acids (at or
below pH 7).
➔ Do not use normal phase valves in applications running with aqueous solutions.
