Effect of Eluent Components

Instead of dichloromethane which may cause the environmental pollution, non-halogenated solvent such as ethyl acetate and acetone can be used as eluent. Each solvent is mixed with cyclohexane and used for CLNpak EV-2000 series as the eluent. The effect of the solvents and their mixing ratio is shown below.
