5 How to Optimize the Performance of Your Module
Using Solvent Calibration Tables
Using Solvent Calibration Tables
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.
How to Import the Latest Solvent Calibration Tables
It might be necessary to import new Agilent Solvent Calibration tables that were
not previously available with the system. This will then provide the most accurate
algorithm in determining the compressibility of the mobile phase.
