Ambient conditions for transport and storage
Observe the safety instructions in the section "Safety instructions, transport and
commissioning" p. 12. Transport the PlasmaQuant MS and its components very
carefully to prevent damage from impact or vibration. The device should be
transported in such a way that major temperature fluctuations are avoided and the
formation of condensate is thus prevented.
The following requirements are placed on the climatic conditions during transport of
the instrument:
Temperature range:
Relative humidity:
+5 °C to +45 °C
20-80 %
Contact your Analytik Jena support before transporting the PlasmaQuant MS at
temperatures below +5 °C. If the PlasmaQuant MS and add-on devices are not
installed immediately after delivery or are not required for a prolonged period of time,
they should be stored in their original packaging. A suitable desiccant should be added
to the packaging to prevent damage from moisture.
