Common Solvent Contamination Issues in Chromatography and How to Avoid Them
Introduction One of the most common problems labs face is solvent contamination in chromatography. Chromatography techniques like LC-MS (Liquid Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry) and GC (Gas Chromatography) are widely used in modern laboratories for accurate chemical analysis. These techniques are highly sensitive, which means even small errors can affect results. Solvents are the backbone of chromatographic analysis.
