Safety Practices for FIAS and Mercury Hydride Systems
• Do not attempt to inject a sample into the graphite tube when the furnace is hot.
You may be subjected to fumes from the sudden vaporization of the sample,
and may damage the pipette.
UV Radiation
The graphite furnace emits ultraviolet radiation when it is heated to incandescence.
• Never directly view the graphite furnace unless you are wearing UV-absorbing
glasses.
Strong Magnetic Field
The electromagnet generates a strong magnetic field inside the THGA furnace
during measurement cycles.
• Do not operate the furnace when persons wearing electronic heart pacemakers,
or having other metallic implants, are present.
• Anyone wearing a heart pacemaker or having metallic implants should remain
at least 0.6 meter away from the furnace - in any direction - while the furnace
is operating.
Safety Practices for FIAS and Mercury Hydride Systems
These systems are offered as options for the spectrometer.
Safety Checks
Before you start an analysis, make sure that:
• The laboratory fume ventilation system is operating;
• The tubing in the fluid system is not constricted since this could lead to a
pressure build-up in the system;
• The drain tubing is inserted in the waste container and that this container
is empty.
• If you are using a flame to heat the QTA-cell or if you intend to perform
flame-FIAS analyses, refer to the information under Safety Practices for
Flame Atomization before you ignite the flame.
