Chemical resistance specifications
Introduction
This section provides detailed information about chemical resistance of the ÄKTA go in-
strument to some common aggressive chemicals used in liquid chromatography. For
information regarding chemicals not listed in this section, contact your GE Healthcare
representative.
Refer to Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for information regarding characteristics,
human and environmental risks and preventive measures for chemicals used.
Make sure that you have the SDS available from your chemical distributor
and/or databases on the internet.
Note:
Scope
The information in this section applies to the ÄKTA go flow path. Recommended solutions
for the pump rinsing system are aqueous buffers or 20% ethanol. Do not use other
chemicals in the pump rinsing system.
