Colleagues: None of the posts I have been seeing seem to recognize that most chromatography solvent is wasted during while the HPLC is idle. A few years ago, after a RCRA audit at a pharmaceutical lab, I helped the lab managers purchase a device that recycles the solvent during idle mode. What we were interested in was the mandatory requirement to reduce hazardous waste generation, but we also enjoyed greatly reduced solvent costs.
