You can inject an inline 0.5um filtered sample in 6M GuCl (with reduction
alkylation reagents if you like) adjusted to have pH below 3 on to a reverse
phase column in TFA/acetonitrile with no ill effects to th e column and
excellent chromatogams (my true experience over ten years, mainly with
Zorbax SB, but also with Jupiter, Vydac, Supelco, Synchrom , according to
rough memory, not responsible for omissions!).
