Drain Vessel
The Agilent ICP-OES system needs a drain vessel for disposal of
excess fluids from the spray chamber or autosampler. Suitable tubing
is supplied with the spectrometer for use with inorganic solvents.
When using organic solvents, different drain tubing that is suitable
for the solvent in use will be required.
A chemically inert container, not glass or of a narrow-necked style, to
hold a minimum of 2 liters (4 pints) of waste must be provided by the
user. It should be located underneath the sample compartment (or on
the right side of the instrument), where it is protected by the bench
and in full view of the operator.
