6.1.1.
1 Gradient Composition:
[Link].1 Connect the union between injector and Detector. Before starting the Gradient composition test,
flush the all channels for 15 minutes initially with hot water (100%), Methanol (100%) then IPA
(100 %) followed by Methanol (100%) and water (100%).
[Link].2 Prepare Mobile phase: (A and C): Milli -Q Water, (B and D): 0.4% acetone aqueous solution.
[Link].3 Perform flow rate calibration before performing Gradient composition and purge all the HPLC
channels individually with flow 5ml/ min for 5 minutes with 100% composition.
[Link].4 Fill the gradient table parameter as mention below:

21 50 0 50 0 2.0 400 bar
26 50 0 50 0 2.0 400 bar
[Link].5 Run the System for stabilization before testing.
[Link].6 Run the time programmer as per the above table by setting wavelength 265 nm and column oven
temperature at 40°C.
[Link].7 To run sequence, keep HPLC vial with water at -1 and add 0.1 µl in acquiring method parameter.
[Link].8 Calculate the concentration for each conc. Label 20%,40%, 60 %,80% and 100%.

[Link].9 The actual concentration should not deviate by more than ± 2 of set value.
[Link].10 height at set % conc.
Calculation: Actual conc. = ----------------------------------------------------------- × 100
height at 100%conc.
[Link].11 The chromatogram obtained shall be checked for gradient step.
