Degassing of HPLC Mobile Phase: Why Its Done?
Degassing of HPLC mobile phase removes dissolved air so bubbles do not form when solvents mix. Bubbles cause false peaks, noisy baselines, lower pump flow rate precision and possible pump failure. Helium purging, vacuum degassing and sonication are the common methods, and combining them works better than using one alone. Why is degassing of HPLC … Read more
