    Chloroform, methylene chloride, ethyl acetate, and toluene are not recommended for use in ACQUITY UPLC systems, THF kit installed or not.

    This was asked because, while in LC, column regenaration procedure, vendors suggests that, non-polar solvents can be used for regenaration and some RP-LC applications, non-polar solvents were used (after conforming the misibility with mobile phases

    As per our experience and usage, up to 65% non polar solvents are suitable for UPLC method. But as per suggestions of other users you can use upto 100 % non polar solvents as a gradient mobile phase.
