Reduce the memory effect

Discussions about HPLC, CE, TLC, SFC, and other "liquid phase" separation techniques.

Hi everybody,

Two words about me : my name is Jean, validation operator, working in a Belgian Biotech compagny which especially produces oligonucleotides for research use or IVD.

For some kinds of oligos purified on RP-HPLC, I have a high "memory effect" because these are modified with strong hydrophobic dyes.
I'm working with a gradient of 2 solutions (A :TEAA in water/ACN and B: ACN). My gradient goes to 100% of B in 10 min and last for 1 min. then go back to 100% A (equilibration for the next sample).

Is it possible for to ask you giving me some clues to reduce this memory effect observed with these oligos.

Thanking you in advance!
Jean
Some general clues are good too :wink:
Is there some ammonium in the mobile phase??
Maybe the 100 % AcN phase may last a minute or two longer?
Have you tried to keep the ions the same concentration?
