To protect optimal functionality of the Vanquish system, observe these recommendations on the use of solvents and additives:
The system must be used with reversed-phase (RP) compatible solvents and additives only.
Use only solvents and additives that are compatible with all parts in the flow path.
TIP
In a Vanquish Core system, normal-phase (NP) compatible solvents and additives may be used if the system modules have been modified for NP applications. Refer to the Vanquish System Operating Manual.
Piston Seal Compatibility
In rare cases, a shortened lifetime of reversed-phase (UHMW-PE) piston seals has been observed with high pH, ammonium hydroxide containing mobile phases and prolonged exposure.
