Decreasing Pressure: Causes and Solutions


                        Possible Cause                                                                                         Solution
 
 
Insufficient flow from pump  Loosen cap on mobile phase reservior 
Leak in hydralic lines from pump to column  Tighten or replace fittings; tighten rotor in injection valve
