Resurrection of Previously-Owned HPLC Instrumentation
Posted: Sun Jun 30, 2013 12:52 pm
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.
