Main Features
Main Features
The Agilent 1200 Series thermostatted column compartments are stackable

temperature-controlled column compartments for LC. They are available as
standalone modules or as a component of a Agilent 1200 Series system. They
are used for heating and cooling to meet extreme requirements of retention
time reproducibility.
The main features are:
• Peltier heating and cooling from 10 degrees below ambient up to
80 °C(G1316A) or 100 °C (G1316B SL/G1316C SL Plus) with high heating
and cooling speeds for maximum application flexibility and stability,
• holds up to three 30-cm columns and optimized design gives minimum dead
volumes and maximum efficiency,
• two independently programmable heat exchangers contribute volumes of
only 3 and 6 µl,
• G1316B SL features additional heating and cooling devices for low flow
rates, which reduce the risk of additional dispersion,
• G1316B SL and G1316C SL Plus can be supplemented by a kit to install a
small heat-exchanger with 1.6 µl delay volume to reduce the delay volume.
In additon a cooling device with 1.5 µl is available,
• electronic column-identification module as standard for GLP
documentation of column type, and major column parameters,
• optional high-quality Rheodyne® column switching valves with ceramic
stator-face assemblies for prolonged lifetime.
For specifications, see “Performance Specifications” on page 28.

Introduction to the Column Compartment 1
System Overview
System Overview
The Concept of Heating and Cooling

The design of this thermostatted column compartment uses column heating
and cooling devices with Peltier elements. The solvent entering the column
compartment is heated up or cooled down to a settable temperature with two
low-volume heat exchangers (3 µl on left side, 6 µl on right side), made of a
short piece of capillary 0.17 mm i.d. leading through a heat exchanger. The
heat exchanger is designed such that it can function simultaneously as an air
heater. The shape of the heat exchanger surface allows the area around the
column to be kept at a similar temperature level as the liquid running through
the column. This is done by thermal convection and radiation between the
heat exchanger fins. This design ensures that the column and the solvent
flowing through it are almost at the same temperature.
Actual temperature control is accomplished at the heat exchanger. The solvent
cools down or heats up on its transfer from the heating block to the column
inlet. This depends on several factors: flow rate, setpoint temperature,
ambient temperature and column dimensions.
In a flow-through temperature regulation system, there are necessarily slightly
different temperatures at different positions. If, for example, the temperature
set by the user is 40 °C, then the heat exchanger is regulated to a temperature
40.8 °C which is different by a certain offset (here. 0.8 °C). The solvent
temperature at the column entry would be about 39 °C.
The actual temperature displayed on the user interface is always the derived
temperature taken at the heat exchanger, corrected by the offset explained
above.
Any type of heated column compartment brings one important consequence
for column temperature equilibration. Before an equilibrium is reached, the
whole mass of column, column packing, and solvent volume inside the column
has to be brought to the selected temperature. This depends on several factors:
flow rate, setpoint temperature, ambient temperature and column dimensions.
The higher the flow rate, the faster the column equilibrates (due to
thermostatted mobile phase).

System Overview
“Column Thermostat Temperature Calibration” on page 80 shows a setpoint

temperature of 40 °C. Some time after entering the setpoint the heat
exchanger has reached its temperature and the control activity starts. The
TEMPERATURE NOT READY signal will be cancelled 20 seconds after the sensed
temperature was within a range of ± 0.5 °C of the setpoint (other values can be
set via the user interface). However this does not necessarily mean that the
column has already reached the correct temperature. The equilibration of the
column may take longer. Stability of the pressure signal is a good indication
for equilibrium.

Column-Identification System
The Agilent 1200 Series thermostatted column compartment is equipped with

a column-identification system. It allows to read and write column-specific
information to and from the column-identification tag.

If a column switching valve (see “Column Switching Valve (Optional for G1316A/G1316B
NOTE SL)” on page 15) is installed in the module, the update of the number of injections depends
on the position of the column switching valve. For example, if the left column is selected,
the right column is not updated, and vice versa. If no column switching valve is installed
both sides are updated at the same time.

Two Column Selection

The valve can select either column 1 or column 2. The offline column is sealed
by connecting head to tail. Switching should be done when the flow is off and
the pressure is zero.
Before switching the valve, switch off the pump or set the flow to zero. Keeping the flow on
NOTE while the valve is switched can cause exceeding the maximum pressure. This will stop
method or sequence execution.

Electrical Connections
• The CAN bus is a serial bus with high speed data transfer. The two
connectors for the CAN bus are used for internal Agilent 1200 Series
module data transfer and synchronization.
• One analog output provides signals for integrators or data handling
systems.
• The REMOTE connector may be used in combination with other analytical
instruments from Agilent Technologies if you want to use features such as
start, stop, common shut down, prepare, and so on.
• With the appropriate software, the RS-232C connector may be used to
control the module from a computer through a RS-232C connection. This
connector is activated and can be configured with the configuration switch.
See your software documentation for further information.
• The power input socket accepts a line voltage of 100 – 240 volts AC ± 10%
with a line frequency of 50 or 60 Hz. Maximum power consumption is
220 VA. There is no voltage selector on your module because the power
supply has wide-ranging capability. There are no externally accessible
fuses, because automatic electronic fuses are implemented in the power
supply. The security lever at the power input socket prevents the module
cover from being taken off when line power is still connected.
Never use cables other than the ones supplied by Agilent Technologies to ensure proper
NOTE functionality and compliance with safety or EMC regulations.

Instrument Layout
Instrument Layout
The industrial design of the module incorporates several innovative features.

It uses Agilent’s E-PAC concept for the packaging of electronics and
mechanical assemblies. This concept is based upon the use of expanded
polypropylene (EPP) layers foam plastic spacers in which the mechanical and
electronic boards components of the module are placed. This pack is then
housed in a metal inner cabinet which is enclosed by a plastic external
cabinet. The advantages of this packaging technology are:
• virtual elimination of fixing screws, bolts or ties, reducing the number of
components and increasing the speed of assembly/disassembly,
• the plastic layers have air channels molded into them so that cooling air can
be guided exactly to the required locations,
• the plastic layers help cushion the electronic and mechanical parts from
physical shock, and
• the metal inner cabinet shields the internal electronics from
electromagnetic interference and also helps to reduce or eliminate radio
frequency emissions from the instrument itself.

Agilent Lab Advisor Software
The Agilent Lab Advisor Software is a standalone product that can be used
with or without data system. Agilent Lab Advisor helps to manage the lab for
high quality chromatographic results and can monitor in real time a single
Agilent LC or all the Agilent GCs and LCs configured on the lab intranet.
Agilent Lab Advisor provides diagnostic capabilities for all Agilent 1200 Series
HPLC modules. This includes tests and calibrations procedures as well as the
different injector steps to perform all the maintenance routines.
Agilent Lab Advisor also allows users to monitor the status of their LC
instruments. The Early Maintenance Feedback (EMF) feature helps to carry
out preventive maintenance. In addition, users can generate a status report for
each individual LC instrument. The tests and diagnostic features as provided
by the Agilent Lab Advisor Software may differ from the descriptions in this
manual. For details refer to the Agilent Lab Advisor help files.
This manual provides lists with the names of Error Messages, Not Ready
messages, and other common issues.

2 Site Requirements and Specifications
A suitable environment is important to ensure optimal performance of the

instrument.
Power Consideration
The module power supply has wideranging capability (see Table 2 on page 27).
It accepts any line voltage in the range described in the above mentioned table.
Consequently there is no voltage selector in the rear of the module. There are
also no externally accessible fuses, because automatic electronic fuses are
implemented in the power supply.
Incorrect line voltage at the instrument

WA R N I N G
Shock hazard or damage of your instrumentation can result, if the devices are
connected to a line voltage higher than specified.
➔ Connect your instrument to the specified line voltage.
Module is partially energized when switched off, as long as the power cord is
WA R N I N G
plugged in.
Repair work at the module can lead to personal injuries, e.g. shock hazard, when the
cover is opened and the module is connected to power.
➔ Remove the power cable from the instrument before opening the cover.
➔ Do not connect the power cable to the Instrument while the covers are removed.

Unaccessable power plug.

CAUTION
In case of emergency it must be possible to disconnect the instrument from the power
line at any time.
➔ Make sure the power connector of the instrument can be easily reached and
unplugged.
➔ Provide sufficient space behind the power socket of the instrument to unplug the
cable.
Power Cords
Different power cords are offered as options with the module. The female end
of all power cords is identical. It plugs into the power-input socket at the rear
of the module. The male end of each power cord is different and designed to
match the wall socket of a particular country or region.
The absence of ground connection and the use of an unspecified power cord can
WA R N I N G
lead to electric shock or short circuit.
Electric Shock
➔ Never operate your instrumentation from a power outlet that has no ground
connection.
➔ Never use a power cord other than the Agilent Technologies power cord designed
for your region.
Use of unsupplied cables

WA R N I N G
Using cables not supplied by Agilent Technologies can lead to damage of the
electronic components or personal injury.
➔ Never use cables other than the ones supplied by Agilent Technologies to ensure
proper functionality and compliance with safety or EMC regulations.

Bench Space
The column compartment dimensions and weight (see “Physical
Specifications” on page 27 ) allow to place this module on almost any desk or
laboratory bench. It needs an additional 2.5 cm (1.0 inches) of space on either
side and approximately 8 cm (3.1 inches) in the rear for the circulation of air
and electric connections.
If the bench should carry a complete Agilent Series system, make sure that
the bench is designed to carry the weight of all the modules.
The module should be operated in a horizontal position.
Environment
Your column compartment will work within specifications at ambient
temperatures and relative humidity as described in “Physical

This chapter provides information on how to optimize the Thermostatted
Column Compartement.
Optimizing the Performance of your Column Compartment
Optimizing the Performance of your Column Compartment
For best performance results of the column compartment:

• Use short connection capillaries and place them close to the heat
exchanger. This will reduce heat dissipation and external band-broadening.
• Use the left heat exchanger for small volume columns, for example, 2–3 mm
i.d. columns at flow rates of less than 200 µl/min.
• For even lower band-broadening, the heat exchanger can be by-passed and
the column is placed well between the heat exchanger fins.
• Keep the left and right heat exchanger temperature the same unless you do
specific applications.
• Assure that the front cover is always closed.

Test Functions
Status Indicators
The instrument is provided with two status indicators which indicate the
operational state (prerun, run, and error states) of the instrument. The status
indicators provide a quick visual check of the operation of the instrument.
Error Messages
In the event of an electronic, mechanical or hydraulic failure, the instrument
generates an error message in the user interface. The following pages describe
the meaning of the error messages. For each message, a short description of
the failure, a list of probable causes, and a list of suggested actions to fix the
problem are provided.
Thermostat Diagnostic Test

The thermostat diagnostic test evaluates the heating and cooling efficiency of
the two peltier elements.
Temperature Calibration and Verification

The temperature calibration and verification procedure enables the
instrument temperature to be measured against an external, calibrated
measuring device. Normally, temperature calibration is not required
throughout the lifetime of the instrument. However, in order to comply with
local regulatory requirements, calibration and verification may be required.
The following sections describe these functions in detail.

Power Supply Indicator

The power supply indicator is integrated into the main power switch. When
the indicator is illuminated (green) the power is ON.
Module Status Indicator

The module status indicator indicates one of four possible instrument
conditions:
• When the status indicator is OFF (and power switch indicator is on), the
instrument is in a prerun condition, and is ready to begin an analysis.

Status Indicators
• A green status indicator, indicates the module is performing an analysis

(run mode).
• A yellow indicator indicates a not-ready condition. The module is in a
not-ready state when it is waiting for a specific condition or action to be
completed (for example, immediately after changing a setpoint), or while a
self-test procedure is running.
• An error condition is indicated by a red status indicator. An error condition
indicates the module has detected an internal problem which affects
correct operation of the instrument. Usually, an error condition requires
attention (for example, leak, defective internal components). The error
state is propagated through the system to all connected modules, so the
error might come from a different module. Check the error log of your user
interface for the originating module. For safety reasons, an error condition
always interrupts the analysis.

Thermostat Function Test
Heater Function Test Description

The heater function test is used to evaluate the cooling and heating
performance of the two peltier elements.
When the test is started, both heat exchangers are cooled initially to 25 °C.
This temperature is held for 12 seconds, and then the setpoint is changed to
20 °C. The time required to reach 20 °C is a measure of the cooling efficiency
of the peltier elements. At 3.5 minutes, the setpoint is changed to 30 °C, and
both elements begin heating. The time required to reach 30 °C is a measure of
heating efficiency.

rates to fall outside these limits.

7 Test Functions
Function Test Failed

Probable Causes
• Column compartment cover not installed correctly (bad insulation).
• Air intake blocked (insufficient air flow for cooling).
• Poor peltier efficiency (if setpoint temperatures can still be reached, and

Test Functions 7
Pressure Test
Pressure Test
For running a pressure test, please refer to the corresponding pump manual.
The pressure test may be used for testing the tightness of a valve installed in
the TCC.
Wrong use of pressure test may damage valve.

CAUTION
The current implementation of the pressure test automatically uses the maximum
pressure generated by the pump used by that system.
➔ Do not use the test for modules having a lower maximum pressure than the pump
as this will damage the valve. For example do not use 400 bar valve in a TCC in
combination with a 600 bar pump.

Column Thermostat Temperature Calibration
Temperature Calibration Principle

The actual temperatures of the column heat exchangers (left and right) depend
on the column setpoint temperature. For setpoint temperatures above (36 °C),
the heat exchangers are heated to a temperature slightly above the setpoint
temperature. Conversely, for setpoint temperatures below (36 °C), the heat
exchangers are kept at a temperature slightly below the setpoint temperature.
This fine temperature correction compensates for the small amount of heat
exchange through the instrument housing, and ensures the column is always
kept at the setpoint temperature.
At (36 °C), the column setpoint and heat-exchanger temperatures are equal
(temperature cross-over point). This is the temperature at which a calibrated
measuring device can be used to calibrate the column thermostat.

Test Functions 7
The column thermostat is calibrated correctly when the measured

temperature (using the external measuring device, “Column Thermostat
Temperature Calibration Procedure” on page 82) and the cross-over
temperature (36 °C) of both heat exchangers (left and right) are within a range
of ± 0.5 °C.

Column Thermostat Temperature Calibration Procedure

Tools required Temperature measuring device (see note below)

Calibrated temperature measuring device
For the measuring and calibration process Agilent Technologies recommends a

NOTE thermometer with 0.1 °C precision. Contact the local Agilent Technologies support
representative for ordering information.
The figures in this procedure refer to a specific type of temperature sensor (Heraeus,
NOTE Quat340, quartz surface-temperature measurement sensor). Other sensors may require a
different fixing.
1 Install the temperature sensor (“Installing the Temperature Sensor” on

page 83).
2 Select the column-compartment temperature calibration mode in the user
interface.
3 Wait for the temperature to stabilize at the calibration temperature (36 °C).
4 Measure the temperature of the heat exchanger.
5 If the measured temperature deviates by more than ± 0.5 °C from the actual
temperature, enter the measured value in the measured-temperature field
for the left heat exchanger.
6 Install the sensor at the measurement point on the right heat exchanger.
Repeat the calibration procedure for the right heat exchanger.
Limits
NOTE
After calibration, the measured temperature and the calibration temperature should be
within ± 0.5 °C. The maximum deviation which can be adjusted is ± 1.6 °C. If the measured
value and the calibration value differ by more than ± 1.6 °C, this is an indication that a
problem exists, “Column Thermostat Calibration Problems” on page 83.

Test Functions 7
Column Thermostat Calibration Problems

If the temperature cannot be calibrated, check the following:
• Has the thermostat front cover been closed correctly?
• Is the measuring device functioning correctly, and is calibrated according to
the manufacturers instructions.
Hardware Failures
Probable hardware failures that can lead to a failed calibration procedure are:
• Defective or wrongly calibrated measuring device.
• Defective heater assembly.
• Defective ambient-temperature sensor.
• Defective CCM board.
Installing the Temperature Sensor

Installation of the temperature sensor is required for the temperature
calibration and temperature verification procedures.
The figures below refer to a specific type of temperature sensor (Heraeus, Quat340, quartz
NOTE surface-temperature measurement sensor). Other sensors may require a different fixing.

7 Test Functions
1 Remove the front cover. 2 Install the temperature sensor at the measurement
position on the left heat exchanger.
3 Route the sensor wire through the slit in the leak tray. 4 Re-install the front cover.

Introduction to Maintenance and Repair
Simple Repairs
The column compartment is designed for easy repair. The most frequent
repairs such as change of column and column switching valve head parts can
be done from the front of the column compartment without removing the TCC
from the HPLC stack. These repairs are described in “Maintenance” on
page 85.
Exchanging Internal Parts

Some repairs may require exchange of defective internal parts. Exchange of
these parts requires removing the column compartment from the stack,
removing the covers, and disassembling the column compartment. The
security lever at the power input socket prevents that the column
compartment cover is taken off when line power is still connected.
These repairs are described in “Repair” on page 107.

Changing the Type and Serial Number
Introduction
When the main board has to be replaced, the new board does not have a serial
number. For some modules (e.g. pumps or auto samplers) the type has to be
changed (multiple usage boards). Use the information from the serial number
plate of your module.
Keep in mind that
• the changes become active after a power cycle of the module.
• the information from the serial number plate of the module is used.
• the exact type (product number) is used.
If the type (product number) was entered incorrectly, the module may become unusable.
NOTE Proceed to “Overview” on page 134.
With firmware A.06.02/B.01.02 and above a wrong type cannot be entered. The entry is

The Electronics
The Electronics
The electronics are comprised of four main components:

• column compartment main board (CCM).
• column identification board (CID), see “Column-Identification System” on
page 13
• power supply, see “The Main Power Supply Assembly” on page 244.

Hardware Information 13
Firmware Description
The firmware of the instrument consists of two independent sections:

• a non-instrument specific section, called ‘resident system’,
• an instrument specific section, called ‘main system’.
Resident System
This resident section of the firmware is identical for all Agilent 1200 series
modules. Its properties are:
• the complete communication capabilities (GPIB, CAN, LAN and RS-232C),
• memory management,
• ability to update the firmware of the ‘main system’.
Main System
Its properties are:
• the complete communication capabilities (GPIB, CAN, LAN and RS-232C),
• memory management,
• ability to update the firmware of the ‘resident system’.
In addition the main system comprises the instrument functions that are
divided into common functions like
• run synchronization via APG remote
• error handling,
• diagnostic functions and so on,
or module specific functions like
• internal events such as heater control, column identification,
• and so on.

Firmware Updates
Firmware updates can be done using your user interface:
• hand-held control module with files from a PC-card or
• Agilent ChemStation with files from floppy disk
The file naming conventions are:
1316A_A601_12.dlb
xxxx is the product number, e.g. 1316 for the G1316A TCC, and vvv is the
revision number, for example A601 is revision A.06.01, and zz is the build
number
For instructions refer to your user interface.
Update of main system can be done in the resident system only. Update of the resident
NOTE system can be done in the main system only.

For identification and location of the connectors see Figure 12 on page 41.
NOTE functionality and compliance with safety or EMC regulations, see “Cable Overview” on
page 214.

GPIB Interface
The GPIB connector is used to connect the module with a computer. The
address and control switches next to the GPIB connector determine the GPIB
address of your module. The switches are preset to a default address and
recognized by the operating software from Agilent Technologies.

DAD/MWD 26 VWD (HP 1050) 10
Column Compartment 27 DAD (HP 1050) 17
CAN Interface
The CAN is an intermodule communication interface. It is a 2 wire serial bus
system supporting high speed data communication and real-time requirement.
Remote Interface
The APG Remote connector may be used in combination with other analytical
instruments from Agilent Technologies if you want to use features as common
shut down, prepare, and so on.
Remote control allows easy connection between single instruments or systems
to ensure coordinated analysis with simple coupling requirements.
The subminiature D connector is used. The module provides one remote
connector which is inputs/outputs (wired-or technique).

To provide maximum safety within a distributed analysis system, one line is

dedicated to SHUT DOWN the system’s critical parts in case any module
detects a serious problem. To detect whether all participating modules are
switched on or properly powered, one line is defined to summarize the
POWER ON state of all connected modules. Control of analysis is maintained
by signal readiness READY for next analysis, followed by START of run and
optional STOP of run triggered on the respective lines. In addition PREPARE
and START REQUEST may be issued. The signal level are defined as:
• standard TTL levels (0 V is logic true, + 5 V is false)
• fan-out is 10,
• input load is 2.2 kOhm against + 5 V, and
• output are open collector type, inputs/outputs (wired-or technique).
Table 45 Remote Signal Distribution
Pin Signal Description
1 DGND Digital ground
2 PREPARE (L) Request to prepare for analysis (for example, calibration, detector
lamp on). Receiver is any module performing preanalysis activities.
3 START (L) Request to start run / timetable. Receiver is any module

performing run-time controlled activities.
4 SHUT DOWN (L) System has serious problem (for example, leak: stops pump).
Receiver is any module capable to reduce safety risk.
5 Not used
6 POWER ON (H) All modules connected to system are switched on. Receiver is any
module relying on operation of others.
7 READY (H) System is ready for next analysis. Receiver is any sequence
controller.
8 STOP (L) Request to reach system ready state as soon as possible (for
example, stop run, abort or finish and stop injection). Receiver is any
module performing run-time controlled activities.
9 START REQUEST (L) Request to start injection cycle (for example, by start key on any
module). Receiver is the autosampler.

RS-232C
The RS-232C connector is used to control the column module from a computer
through RS-232C connection, using the appropriate software. This connector
can be configured with the configuration switch module next to the GPIB
connector.
The RS-232C is designed as DCE (data communication equipment) with a
9-pin male SUB-D type connector. The pins are defined as:

Setting the 8-bit Configuration Switch
The 8-bit configuration switch is located next to the GPIB connector. Switch
settings provide configuration parameters for GPIB address, serial
communication protocol and instrument specific initialization procedures.

Switches 1 and 2 define which set of parameters (for example, for GPIB,
RS-232C, and so on) will be changed. Once the change has been completed, the
instrument must be powered up again in order to store the values in the
non-volatile memory.

Here the parameters are kept, independently if you turn the column
compartment off and on again. They will be kept until the same set of
parameters is subsequently changed and power is reset. All other previously
stored configuration settings are still being kept in non-volatile memory.
In this manner you can store more than one set of parameters, for example, for
GPIB and RS-232C, using the same 8-bit configuration switch twice.
GPIB Default Addresses

If you just want to change the GPIB address and need a detailed procedure,
refer to the Installing Your Agilent ChemStation System handbook. Default
GPIB address is set to the following addresses:

where 0 means that the switch is down and 1 means that the switch is up.
Communication Settings for RS-232C Communication

The communication protocol used in the column compartment supports only
hardware handshake (CTS/RTR).

Switches 1 in down and 2 in up position define that the RS-232C parameters

will be changed. Once the change has been completed, the column instrument
must be powered up again in order to store the values in the non-volatile
memory.

The Main Power Supply Assembly
The main power supply comprises a closed assembly and must not be
disassembled further for safety reasons. In case of a defect, the entire power
supply needs to be replaced.
The power supply provides all DC voltages used in the module. The line voltage
can vary in a range from 100 – 240 volts AC ± 10 % and needs no manual
setting.

To disconnect the instrument from line, unplug the power cord. The power supply still uses
NOTE some power, even if the power switch on the front panel is turned off.
No accessible hardware fuse is needed because the main power supply is safe
against any short circuits or overload conditions on the output lines. When
overload conditions occur, the power supply turns off all output voltages.
Turning the line power off and on again resets the power supply to normal
operation if the cause of the overload condition has been removed.

An over-temperature sensor in the main power supply is used to turn off

output voltages if the temperature exceeds the acceptable limit (for example, if
the cooling fan of the instrument fails). To reset the main power supply to
normal operating conditions, turn the instrument off, wait until it is
approximately at ambient temperature and turn the instrument on again.
The following table gives the specifications of the main power supply.

Appendix 14
Solvent Information
Solvent Information
Flow Cell
To protect optimal functionality of your flow-cell:
• Avoid the use of alkaline solutions (pH > 9.5) which can attack quartz and
thus impair the optical properties of the flow cell.
• If the flow cell is transported while temperatures are below 5 degree C, it
must be assured that the cell is filled with alcohol.
• Aqueous solvents in the flow cell can built up algae. Therefore do not leave
aqueous solvents sitting in the flow cell. Add a small % of organic solvents
(e.g. acetonitrile or methanol ~5%).
Use of Solvents
Observe the following recommendations on the use of solvents.
• Brown glass ware can avoid growth of algae.
• Small particles can permanently block capillaries and valves. Therefore
always filter solvents through 0.4 µm filters.
• Avoid the use of the following steel-corrosive solvents:
• Solutions of alkali halides and their respective acids (for example,
lithium iodide, potassium chloride, and so on),
• High concentrations of inorganic acids like sulfuric acid and nitric acid,
especially at higher temperatures (if your chromatography method
allows, replace by phosphoric acid or phosphate buffer which are less
corrosive against stainless steel),
• Halogenated solvents or mixtures which form radicals and/or acids, for
example:
2CHCl3 + O2 —> 2COCl2 + 2HCl
This reaction, in which stainless steel probably acts as a catalyst, occurs
quickly with dried chloroform if the drying process removes the
stabilizing alcohol,

14 Appendix
Solvent Information
• Chromatographic grade ethers, which can contain peroxides (for

example, THF, dioxane, di-isopropylether) such ethers should be filtered
through dry aluminium oxide which adsorbs the peroxides,
• Solvents containing strong complexing agents (e.g. EDTA),
• Mixtures of carbon tetrachloride with 2-propanol or THF.
