Environmental conditions
The PlasmaQuant MS may only be operated in closed rooms. The location must have
the characteristics of an analytical laboratory. The location must meet the following
conditions:
It must be free of dust, drafts, vibrations and caustic fumes.
For optimum analytical performance, it is recommended that a positive air pressure
is maintained in the laboratory at all times.
Condensate might enter the inside of the instrument causing a short circuit. Ensure
uninterrupted air conditioning at high humidity, even during operating pauses.
Do not place the PlasmaQuant MS near sources of electromagnetic interference.
Avoid direct sunlight and heater radiation on the PlasmaQuant MS. Air
conditioning is recommended at the location. The cool air emanating from the air
conditioning unit should not be directed at the device.
A separate room is recommended for sample preparation and storing liquid
chemicals.
The following requirements are placed on the climatic conditions in the operating
room of the PlasmaQuant MS:
