AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on challenges faced in developing an HPLC method for analyzing beta-alanine using an Agilent system. The user reports difficulties achieving a satisfactory peak with their current method, which employs a gradient mobile phase consisting of 0.1% formic acid in both water and acetonitrile, utilizing a 250 mm C18 column at a flow rate of 1.0 µL. The detection wavelength is set at 214 nm with a 10 µL injection volume at ambient temperature. The gradient profile includes specific ratios of mobile phases over time, but the user expresses uncertainty about the effectiveness of their current setup. Suggestions and troubleshooting advice from other forum members are sought to improve peak resolution and overall method performance.

I am working on HPLC method Beta alanine and unable to get a good enough peak. I'm using an agilent system HPLC ,gradient mobile phase(a: 0.1% formic Acid in Ro water,0.1% Formic acid in ACN) 250 mm C18 4/6x 250 mm column Flow rate 1.0 ul Detector: 214 nm 10 ul injected temp:ambient
Gradient below min A: B: 0 95 5 2 75 25 10 50 50 12 5 95 15 5 95 Im unsure on what I'm not doing correctly! Any help will be appreciated!

Thread 'How to make Sodium Chlorate by Electrolysis of salt water?'

I have a power supply for electrolysis of salt water brine, variable 3v to 6v up to 30 amps. Cathode is stainless steel, anode is carbon rods. Carbon rod surface area 42" sq. the Stainless steel cathode should be 21" sq. Salt is pure 100% salt dissolved into distilled water. I have been making saturated salt wrong. Today I learn saturated salt is, dissolve pure salt into 150°f water cool to 100°f pour into the 2 gallon brine tank. I find conflicting information about brine tank...
