This chapter includes the Agilent ICP-OES maintenance 
requirements that may be carried out by an operator. Any 
maintenance procedures not specifically mentioned in this chapter 
should be carried out only by Agilent-trained, Agilent-qualified or 
Agilent-authorized field service engineers. 

 

WARNING 

 

 

Eye Hazard 
Always wear appropriate safety glasses when handling sample solutions and 
other chemicals, or when the plasma is on, in order to minimize the risk of 
eye damage by hazardous liquids and exposure to ultraviolet rays.. 

 

WARNING 

 

 

Shock Hazard 
This instrument contains electrical circuits, devices and components 
operating at dangerous voltages. Contact with these circuits, devices and 
components can result in death, cause serious injury, or painful electrical 
shock.
