Column volumes and equilibration

Column volumes and equilibration

For initial installation Aurora Series columns should be equilibrated via direct flow with 5 column volumes of 80% buffer B (100% Acetonitrile, 0.1% Formic Acid) followed by 5 column volumes of 1% buffer B. 

Warning
WARNING: Do not run UHPLC system column equilibration scripts during initial installation of IonOpticks columns. These scripts can cause irreversible column damage and will void the replacement policy. 
​
Before each run, Aurora Series columns should be equilibrated with a minimum of 4 column volumes of 100% buffer A.
