CAUTION — Escape of Hazardous Substances from PEEK ™ Capillaries
In the Vanquish system, capillaries made of PEEK may be used. Swelling
or attack by acids can cause PEEK capillaries to start leaking or to burst.
•
Certain chemicals, for example, trichlormethane (CHCl
3
), dimethyl
sulfoxide (DMSO), or tetrahydrofuran (THF) can cause PEEK to swell.
•
Concentrated acids, such as sulfuric acid and nitric acid, or a mixture
of hexane, ethyl acetate, and methanol, can attack PEEK.
•
Swelling or attack is not a problem with brief flushing procedures.
•
For more information, refer to the technical literature on the
chemical resistance of PEEK.
CAUTION — Allergic Reaction
Some capillaries in the Vanquish system are made of MP35N®, a nickel-
cobalt based alloy. Individuals with sensitivity to nickel/cobalt may show
an allergic reaction from skin contact.
CAUTION — Sparking due to Electrostatic Discharge
Liquid flowing through capillaries can generate static electricity. This
effect is particularly present with insulating capillaries and non-
conductive solvents (for example, pure acetonitrile). Discharge of
electrostatic energy might lead to sparking, which could constitute a fire
hazard.
Prevent the generation of static electricity near the chromatography
system.
2.3.6 In Case of Emergency
WARNING — Safety Hazard
In case of emergency, disconnect the device from the power line.
