Resurrection of Previously-Owned HPLC Instrumentation

Basic questions from students; resources for projects and reports.

Good Morning,

The company I work with is being "gifted" roughly four previously-owned HPLCs. They will likely be Waters Alliance 2695 and Agilent 1100 systems, and they will have suffered unspeakable abuse in their lifetimes...inadequate PMs or no PMs, buffer salts in high concentrations, lack of clean eluents...they've been handled quite poorly. I think my guess to their state is quite reasonable based on the fact that we are not receiving any in-use documentation (logs) with these systems.

Under the HPLC Solutions tab above and to the right-hand side of this page, John Dolan notes what he would do to resurrect these HPLC systems.

My question is...given that we're not having the option to turn these instruments in for new ones (what would be desirable), what would you folks recommend to augment Mr. Dolan in the way of resurrecting these LCs?

My thanks to you all, in advance, for your help.

Nice surprise about this shorter form. Can you tell us what it is you are talking/writing about?Has any info. about this shorter form been posted before (and i just missed
Hi Rabika,

I am unsure that I understand, but here is the link to John Dolan's comments on HPLC Resurrection:

http://www.sepscience.com/Techniques/LC ... surrection

At least at the top of the page I am looking at as I write this response, I note four links: Separation Science, HPLC Solutions, GC Solutions and MS Solutions are the titles of each.

I don't know if these web pages you may reach by clicking on these links have been expressly spoken of in the Chromatography Forum, but I've not researched this, either. Perhaps Tom Jupille can help with your question? Mr. Dolan's comments were in the HPLC Solutions section--as noted in the link address I attached above.

Hope this helps?

Hi Matt

I'm pretty sure that R*bika is a web bot or some sort of troll. We had a spate of them a while ago.

The specific link in question is http://www.sepscience.com/Techniques/LC ... surrection

You can find it just as Matt described: click on the "HPLC Solutions" link at the upper right and then use their search field to find the article (I searched on "resurrection").

My thanks, Peter and Tom Jupille.

News I got yesterday...instruments may be "gifted elsewhere" now. Perhaps this is a blessing in disguise.
