gradient is not accurate. I put 0.1% acetone in methanol as B solvent, pure methanol as A solvent and run from 0% B to 100% B. baseline should be straight if gradient is accurate. however, my baseline fluctuates a lot as showing below. anyone knows reason?

Read through this article by John Dolan and Jonathan Gilroy from LCGC. It should help you figure out what's going on with your pump, outside the on-board diagnostics and tests you may have in your instrument software.
