I Have Pulsations in my Baseline and Flow

Purpose

This article outlines potential causes and solutions to pulsations found in the baseline and flow.

Solution

Possible causes are as follows:

 

  • There is a leakage from the flow line.  Tightening the fittings where the leak(s) is occurring will stabilize the flow.

  • Columns are not held by column clips properly to ground static electrical current.  Make sure that the metal parts of the column are touching the clamps rather than the stickers/plastic.

  • The pump washing port does not contain enough ultrapure water. Please aspirate ultrapure water into the syringe.
