heated surface, even in the absence of a spark or other source of ignition. A list of common
solvents with their auto-ignition temperatures are in Table S-3.
Table S-3. Auto-Ignition Temperatures of Common LC Solvents.
Do not use carbon disulfide or other solvents
which have an auto-ignition temperature
below 110 °C.
