Safety checks

Before you start an analysis, make sure that:
–
The laboratory fume ventilation system is operating;
–
The tubing in the fluid system is not constricted since this could lead to a
pressure build-up in the system;
–
The drain tubing is inserted in the waste container and that this container
is empty.

If you are using a flame to heat the QTA-cell or if you intend to perform
flame-FIAS analyses, refer to the information under
Safety Practices for
Flame Atomization before you ignite the flame.
