I'm fairly new to ion chromatography, and I was just wondering something: I know generally when samples can be evaporated to salt and then reconstituted into the mobile phase you're able to get a much flatter baseline and improve your peak detection by a bit.
I was just wondering why nobody ever recommends, instead of evaporating the sample, just adding a concentrated version of the mobile phase so that after mixing it should closely match the mobile phase through the column and improve the baseline.
Is it just that the extra step/errors usually aren't worth the hassle, or is there something else more fundamental that I'm missing.
Thanks.
