Cleaning Method: Polymer-based Columns for Reversed Phase Chromatography (Asahipak)

Please read the column cleaning method for your column.

Asahipak ODP-50 series, Asahipak C4P-50 4D and Asahipak ODP-90 20F

For an efficient cleaning, reverse the flow direction.

Flow rate during the cleaningScroll
Product name Flow rate Product name Flow rate Product name Flow rate
Asahipak ODP-50 6D ≤ 0.5 mL/min Asahipak ODP-50 6E ≤ 0.5 mL/min Asahipak ODP-50 4B ≤ 0.4 mL/min
Asahipak ODP-50 4D ≤ 0.5 mL/min Asahipak ODP-50 4E ≤ 0.5 mL/min Asahipak C4P-50 4D ≤ 0.5 mL/min
Asahipak ODP-50 2D ≤ 0.1 mL/min Asahipak ODP-50 10E ≤ 1.0 mL/min Asahipak ODP-90 20F ≤ 2.5 mL/min

 

Method 1: Basic solvent wash (Apply after using the column under acidic to neutral condition for an extended period of time.)

Introduce 0.1-M aqueous sodium hydroxide solution/acetonitrile = 80/20. Recommended solvent volume to introduce is 5 to 10 times of the column volume.

 

Method 2: Acid solvent wash (Apply after using the column under basic to neutral condition for an extended period of time.)

Introduce 50-mM aqueous phosphoric acid solution/acetonitrile = 90/10. Recommended solvent volume to introduce is 5 to 10 times of the column volume.

 

Method 3: Organic solvent wash (Apply after using the column under highly aqueous condition for an extended period of time.)

Introduce water/acetonitrile = 20/80. Recommended solvent volume to introduce is 5 to 10 times of the column volume.

(Attention)

Keeping the washing solution in the column for a long time will lead to column deterioration. Please replace the washing solution with the eluent immediately after cleaning.
