I have problem with HPLC. We use gradient mobile phase (normal phase column). we use 3 phases :

A. Hexane

B. Methanol (with small additives such as triethylamine and acetic acid)

C. Acetone (with small additives such as triethylamine and acetic acid)

Usually we have stable pressure at 40 bar. But recently I forced with a problem of increasing of pressure when B phase increases up to 50 %(pressure raise from 40 to 52 bars). First, we thought that the problem is contamination in methanol as it main component of B phase, than we changed bottle of methanol, but nothing changed.

Do you have any suggestions ?
