This presentation will look at several key issues, such as:

  • How often typical preventive maintenance (PM) tasks should be performed.
  • What signs to look for that may indicate a need for maintenance.
  • Tools for testing the LC systems before and after maintenance.
  • Basic troubleshooting and diagnostics.

The goal of this talk is to lay a strong and broad foundation from which to build a better understanding of your own HPLC systems and their specific maintenance needs.
