Chemical resistance specifications
Introduction
This section provides detailed information about chemical resistance of the ÄKTA avant
instrument to some of the most commonly used chemicals in liquid chromatography.
Regarding exposure to solutions not covered by this information, contact your GE repre-
sentative for recommendations.
A user can be exposed to large volumes of chemical substances over a long
time period. Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) provide the user with informa-
tion regarding characteristics, human and environmental risks and preventive
measures. Make sure that you have the MSDS available from your chemical
distributor and/or databases on the internet.
