Instrument safety
General
CAUTION!
Do not remove instrument protective covers.
If you remove the protective instrument
panels or disable interlock devices, you may be exposed to serious hazards including, but not limited
to, severe electrical shock, laser exposure, crushing, or chemical exposure.
CAUTION!
Solvents and Pressurized fluids.
Wear eye protection when working with any
pressurized fluids. Use caution when working with any polymeric tubing that is under pressure:
·
Extinguish any nearby flames if you use flammable solvents.
·
Do not use polymeric tubing that has been severely stressed or kinked.
·
Do not use polymeric tubing with tetrahydrofuran or nitric and sulfuric acids.
·
Be aware that methylene chloride and dimethyl sulfoxide cause polymeric tubing to swell and
greatly reduce the rupture pressure of the tubing.
·
Be aware that high solvent flow rates (~40mL/min) may cause a static charge to build up on the
surface of the tubing and electrical sparks may result.
