About this Manual
This iCAP Qnova Series ICP-MS Pre-Installation Requirements Guide is
intended primarily for those who are responsible for the site planning of
a laboratory in preparation for the installation of a new iCAP Qnova
Series ICP-MS. This guide should be retained for future guidance in
case your instrument needs to be relocated.
The operator is responsible for providing a suitable location, a suitable
operating environment, a source of power of acceptable quality, correct
gas and solvent supplies, and proper waste and exhaust systems.
This iCAP Qnova Series ICP-MS Pre-Installation Requirements Guide
provides information to assist in planning and preparing your lab site for
the system prior to delivery and installation. Read each section carefully
to be sure that your laboratory is ready for the installation of your
system. For additional information, request specific pre-installation
support directly through your local Thermo Fisher Scientific office.
Thermo Scientific mass spectrometers are designed to operate reliably
under carefully controlled environmental conditions. Operating a
system or maintaining it in a condition outside the power and operating
environment specifications described in this guide might cause failures
of many types. The repair of such failures is specifically excluded from
the standard warranty and service contract coverage.
