The autosampler, the injection
valve, or the syringe valve is not
tight.

Carry-over occurs in the system. Flush the needle using an
appropriate solvent (
→
Autosampler
Manual).
The capillary connections are not
installed properly or they are not
tight.
Check and tighten the capillary
connections.
Exchange the needle seat if
necessary (→ Autosampler
Manual).
Exchange the needle if necessary
(→ Autosampler Manual).
There are dead volumes in the
capillary connections.
Replace the fittings. Make sure that
the capillaries are installed
correctly. Thermo Fisher Scientific
recommends using Viper capillary
connections whenever possible.
The piston seals are not tight.
Replace the seals (→ Pump
Manual).
There is air in the working head. Purge the pump; check general
function (→ Pump Manual).
There is pump pulsation. Use degassed solvents.
The gradient is irreproducible. Change the gradient.
Check the pump function and
degassing.
Check the filter frits in the solvent
line filters for contamination.
Replace the frits if necessary.
The sample is unstable and
decomposes.
Use new sample or change the
conditions. Cool the sample in the
autosampler if possible.
Baseline fluctuations see "Baseline Fluctuations"
The environmental conditions are
unstable.
Make sure that the temperature and
air humidity are constant. Use
column thermostatting. Avoid draft.
Contamination occurs somewhere
in the system.
Flush the system using an
appropriate solvent.
