Optimize your HPLC-UV system for applications with trifluoroacetic acid (TFA)

When using trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) as eluent modifier in liquid chromatography its self-absorption properties can present challenges for baseline stability. As consequence the pumps pulsation, normally less noticeable can become indirectly visible in detector baseline. This can lead to a negative effect on limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) for chromatographic methods. Mitigation of this phenomenon can be easily achieved by adjusting the pump mixer volume appropriately.

  • Left – Free silanol groups (blue), able to deprotonate; Right – silanol groups cannot deprotonate since TFA deprotonated first (red)

  • Staggered overlay of gradients for P 6.1L pump with 100 µl (black), 200 µl (red), 400 µl (blue), 600 µl (green) mixer

  • Zoom on baseline for P 6.1L pump with 100 µl (black), 200 µl (red), 400 µl (blue), 600 µl (green) mixer

  • Effect on gradient delay volume for P 6.1L pump with 100 µl (black), 200 µl (red), 400 µl (blue), 600 µl (green) mixer
