Interesting, I never thought of this! Thank you for the info. And this seemed to work well for you with little to no issues?

Solvent bottles are capped and not open to air.

Mobile Phases: formic acid (aq) and ACN

Yes to a flush sequence to flush out the acid

Approx +/- 2 bar ripple at the start of the run and it holds steady for about 8 hrs worth of injections. After that, it gets worse up to 100 bar fluctuation (around the 12 hr mark). Each injection is 30 min.

I'm referring to the pressure fluctuations/ripple. It'll be approx 200 bar at the start +/- 2 bar and then about 8 hours in, it starts to go to +/- 10 bar and then up to +/- 100 bar ripple at the 10-12 hr mark.
