Baseline noise can originate from many factors. To minimize the baseline noise, observe the following:

  • The quality of the mobile phase has a major impact on the performance of the detector. Only use mobile phases of the highest quality available. Keep impurities and contaminants to a minimum. Observe the mobile phase guidelines in this manual. See Mobile Phase Guidelines for the Detector.

  • Flush the system modules at regular intervals to remove any non-volatile residues from the mobile phase, if applicable.

  • Follow the maintenance schedules to keep the system modules in optimum performance state.

  • Keep the supplied gas in optimum quality for the detector.
