Why did your chromatography peak suddenly go flat on top? It’s easy to blame detector overload — but detector saturation, analog acquisition limits, or even software issues can all be at fault. Learn how to identify the true source and pick the right fix (diluting the sample might not help). Read the full explanation and troubleshooting steps in our latest post: https://wix.to/pish4Bs
If a chromatography peak suddenly develops a flat top, detector overload is an obvious suspect — but it is not the only possible cause. A flat top chromatography peak can originate in the detector itself, in the analog data acquisition hardware, or, in one specific historical case, within the chro...
