not sure if it is a hardware problem or simply due to my mistake.
Please help me figure out this unknown peak issue.
Condition:
I am running a gradient HPLC method on a conventional C-18 column(250x4.6mm, 5um)
*Detection wavelength: 227nm
*Eluent A: 1.2mM potassium dihydrogen phosphate, 0.05% phosphoric acid in water
*Eluent B: Acetonitrile
Whenever I run HPLC, this unknown high peak is detected at the exactly same RT and same height.
Other compounds are detected correctly but this unknown peak covers all adjacent RT compounds.
Even I run it with Pure water, this peak is still there.
So I assume that potassium dihydrogen phosphate or phosphoric acid in the eluent is detected.
has anyone else experienced something similar to my case?
I desperately need to know why and where it comes from.
