I am having baseline issue when following the method outlined in a application note from Agilent. The application note references a method that utilizes a gradient in the attached image.

The whole application note can be found by searching for 5994-3791EN.

I do have a binary pump instead of the quaternary pump, but otherwise there is very little difference between my instrument's config and the reference method that would significantly effect afaik. If Agilent's newer software corrects for the baseline issues seen maybe that could be the answer.

I also have the older Agilent DAD from the 1100 series if that is relevant.

What could possibly be the root cause of the difference in baseline seen here?

The transition dip is seen at other gradients of these same two mobile phases.
