HPLC Solvent Pumping Systems
The aim of this unit is to describe the role of the solvent delivery system (pump) within high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC).
At the end of this module, you will be able to explain the working principles of the most popular solvent delivery systems in HPLC; demonstrate knowledge of the working principles of various solvent delivery system components and explain maintenance procedures; describe the advantages of dual piston pumps over single piston pumps; recognize system problems from characteristic baseline problems; and identify solvent delivery system problems associated with retention time variation.
