No flow at all from HTEC-500/510 pump

Purpose

This article will explain possible causes of the lack of flow in an HTEC from a problem in the degasser.

Solution

If the pump pressure reading is zero or nearly zero, there is a possibility that the tubing or degasser located upstream of the HPLC pump has been clogged. Please try to connect a disposable syringe to the degasser outlet using a degasser syringe adapter and aspirate with DI water. If water is coming into the syringe, please check the flow of the pump. If there is no/little flow from the degasser, please see our article on how to handle a clogged degasser.
