Flush the flow path
To flush buffered mobile phase from the flow path:
1. Replace the buffered mobile phase with HPLC-quality water, and wet
prime the system for 10 minutes at 3 mL/min (see “Wet prime the
system” on page 129).
2. Perform three injector purge cycles (see “Purge the injector” on page
131).
Requirement: The sample loop must be clean.
3. Replace the plunger seal-wash solvent with a fresh solution of 80%
water/20% methanol or a miscible solvent, and prime the plunger
seal-wash pump (see “Prime the plunger seal-wash pump” on page 106).
4. Replace the water mobile phase with a solution of 90% methanol/10%
water, and flush the system for 10 minutes at 3 mL/min.
5. Replace the needle-wash solvent with a solution of 90% methanol/10%
water or a miscible solvent, and perform a needle-wash prime (see
“Prime the needle-wash pump” on page 109).
