6.1.25 Follow the instructions 11 to 18 and increase the flow to the specified flow rate.
6.1.26 Allow the run at the specified flow rate for at least 15 minutes or as specified in the individual
monograph so as equilibrate the system with the mobile phase.
6.1.27 The system is now ready for injection.
6.1.28 Inject the samples as per individual specification.
6.1.29 After completing all the injections, switch off the detector , make entry in usage Log.
6.1.30 Gradually decrease the flow with the interval of 0.2 ml / min to 0.0 ml/min.
6.1.31 Press PUMP key. Remove the tubing from mobile phase and place it in the reservoir containing
filtered and (degassed) sonicated water for HPLC.
6.1.32 Follow the instructions 6.1.11 to 6.1.18.
6.1.33 Allow to run for at least 240 minutes. Then decrease the flow and press PUMP key.

7. ANALYSIS PROCEDURE
7.1 Use only HPLC Grade solvents for analysis.
7.2 Use only calibrated, clean, dry glass apparatus.
7.3 All the solutions which are entering the HPLC System i.e. water, mobile phase, etc. must be filtered
through 0.4 membrane filter paper, and properly degassed.
7.4 In case of mobile phase containing buffer, it is essential to give water washing to the column prior and
after running the mobile phase.
7.5 Prepare the sample and standard solutions as mentioned in the specifications.
7.6 Ensure that the HPLC system is equilibrated, and ready to start.
7.7 Take a clean, dry syringe. Rinse it with water in case of mobile phase containing buffers, or with the
mobile phase.

7.8 Remove red cap of Rheodyne injector port.
7.9 Ensure that the injector is on Load position.
7.10 Suck water / mobile phase in the syringe, ensure that no air bubble is trapped in the syringe.
7.11 Inject water / mobile phase in the loop. Rinse the port with water for 5 times.
7.12 Inject mobile phase or the solvent system used for sample preparation and turn the injector downward i.e.
in Inject position, the channel on the screen gets activated and shows Run in Progress signal.
7.13 Turn the injector port on Load position.
7.14 After completing the injections again rinse the loop with water and then with Methanol.
7.15 Preserve the column in Methanol.
