7 For the isocratic pump, fill the solvent bottle with the mixture of
HPLC- grade bi- distilled water (30 %) and acetonitrile (70 %). For
binary- and quaternary pumps you can use separate bottles.
For reproducible chromatography, the detector and lamp should be on for at least one hour.
Otherwise the detector baseline may still drift (depending on the environment).
