Water in HPLCUnder the Supervision of: PROF.DR. Sawsan ElmasryPresented by: Reem Tawfeek
Points to be discussedWater used in HPLC.Lab water grades.Specifications of HPLC-grade water. how to determine water purity?Problems caused by poor quality water.Package and storage.Conclusion.
 Water used in HPLCWater for HPLC may be prepared IN HOUSE (analytical labs may prepare its own HPLC water)(N.B. that what most frequently happens in Egyptian labs)Freshly prepared double distilled water (within 24 hours) will be convenient for HPLC applications
 Water used in HPLCDe-ionized water will be INCONVENIENT for HPLC application due to uncertainty of the absence of the microbial contaminationOR      labs could obtain water from HPLC-grade chemicals supplie
Lab Water Grades
the different water specifications based on the different water types
HPLC-water specificationsAccording to B.P. 2010 water for chromatography isdeionized water with a resistivity of not less than 18 MΩ-cmBut is this enoughIt’s possible to have 18 MΩ-cm soup!         Can we use soup for HPLC?????
How to measure water purity? contaminants in water either
Sources of organic contaminants [Total organic carbon(TOC)]Leaching from purification media, tubing and containers,bacterial contaminationabsorption from the atmosphere
Poor quality water reduces chromatographic performance byaffecting resolution and integration.introducing ghost peaks.altering stationary phase selectivity.and impacting baselines.
Ghost peaks
Isocratic baseline monitoring at 210 nm using 100% high TOC reagent water(10 Mᾩ·cm resistivity, 100 ppb TOC) (1 mL/min).
Using high-purity water(3 ppb TOC)
According to American Society for Testing and Materials ASTM Reagent grade water should containsTotal organic carbon (TOC), max , 50 ppbResistivity not less than 18MΩ-cm
Packing and storagepackaged in amber glass bottles  sealed under a nitrogen with Teflon-lined fluorocarbon caps .Unless other instructions stated by SOP(standard operating procedures) Once the bottle is opened it should be used within 24 hours.
Conclusion We should switch from simple resistivity measurement to resistivity and TOC monitoring in order to be able to take reagent water quality for granted.
