Now to my question.. Recently I have moved to a new lab and I used to work on a Dionex ICS 2000 (I think from what I remember) which had a eluent regenerator and required DI water and nothing else. I loved it..
Here I am working with three Metrohm systems, which I honestly HATE, but anyways, the question I have is that the machines use a 2% Acetonitrile Solution instead of DI water, which seems to form a precipitate and clog the machines reagent filters every 2-3 days which need to be changed.. costing 50$ a change.. and wasting my time. Is there something I can do to prevent this from precipitating? The Acetonitrile is supposed to act as an anti-bacterial/biological agent from what I've been told by the senior IC guy here who really know or care, and just says to change it.
Thanks a ton!
