How to reduce Mass Spectrometer Downtime 0.1µm Filtered Solvents from Greyhound Chromatography are the Answer
Reduction of Mass Spectrometer downtime is an issue that concerns many research scientists today. Recent improvements on the High and Ultra PLC instruments coupled with MS, PDA, ELSD, CAD etc detectors have led to special high-performing systems. Ultra low detection limits and valid analysis of molecular structures of proteins, peptides, oligonucleotides and other chemicals brought these new techniques a growing popularity, especially in the pharmaceutical and bio-technology industry.
Faster analysis is often negated by long periods of inactivity because of problems clearing tubes that have become clogged due to impurities in the solvents. Today's UPLC equipment is very sensitive and the choice of the purest solvent is essential. UHPLC is fast becoming an established technique. Hardware and column improvements allow higher temperature and pressure separations, improving resolution and speed. For these improvements to provide a cost saving to the laboratory there needs to be a minimum of disruption caused by instrument downtime.

Working closely with Waters Corporation, Greyhound Chromatography provides Maintenance Solvent Kits for the Mass Spectrometry Instruments that they are installing. The kit consists of ULC/MS Grade Water, Acetonitrile, Methanol, 2-Propanol and Formic Acid. The solvents are manufactured by Biosolve, Greyhound distribute their products worldwide from the UK. Greyhound also works with other leading instrument manufacturers and are able to provide kits of any combination of solvents to suit individual needs.
Biosolve ULC/MS solvents and formulations are micro filtered at 0.1µm and have a very low residue on evaporation, offering the best protection for your columns and detectors. All Biosolve ULC/MS reagents are packaged under inert gas, for improved shelf life. Our customers are reporting to us that by using these highly filtered solvents, instrument down time has been dramatically reduced. So much so, Waters Assoc. are recommending the Biosolve range to their customers as their use has greatly improved the efficiency of their machines.
The range of Biosolve solvents are particularly suited to the pharmaceutical and bio-technology industry as they have high chemical purity, high UV transmission, lowest peak impurities and drift in the gradient elution tests to ensure reproducibility. Low fluorescence impurities and low level of ionic background of less than 100 ppb of Alkali metal.
