An ultrasonic bath with a minimum chamber size of 12 in. × 6 in. × 4 in. (300 mm ×
150 mm × 100 mm)
•
Glass vessels, approximately 4 in. (100 mm) in diameter and 4 3/4 in. (120 mm) high
•
A 500-mL graduated cylinder (to use when cleaning the hexapole assembly)
Caution:
Observe good laboratory practice when you handle solvents, change tubing, or
operate the instrument. Refer to Material Safety Data Sheets for the solvents you use,
and know their chemical properties.
STOP
Attention:
Do not touch integrated circuit chips or other circuit board components that do
not specifically require manual adjustment. Static electric charge can damage electronic
components.
STOP
Attention:
Never open the instrument’s top or side panels to access power supplies or
other components. The supplies do not contain user-serviceable parts.
STOP
