Materials of construction and
compatible solvents
Warning:
To avoid personal contamination with biologically hazardous, toxic, or corrosive
materials, you must address any safety issues raised by the contents of this Appendix. Doing so
confirms the integrity of the source exhaust system.
Requirement:
The lists of solvents presented in this appendix are not comprehensive. Some
solvents might be chemically compatible with the ACQUITY QDa detector, though they are not
referenced in the lists. Some solvents referenced in the lists but used at higher concentrations
than specified might also be compatible with the instrument. Where solvents are used at higher
concentrations than specified in the lists, it is important that you determine whether their use is
compatible with the instrument.

C.2 Running Hexane and THF with the ACQUITY QDa
Detector
Warning:
To avoid or minimize exposure to harmful solvent vapors, locate your system inside a
fume hood or walk-in chamber if you are using Hexane or THF. Hexane is a neurotoxin and THF
can irritate eyes, skin, and mucous membranes, and cause harmful neurological effects.
