Spilled solvents hazard
Flammable solvents hazard
When using flammable solvents, ensure that a stream of nitrogen
continuously flushes the instrument’s source, and the nitrogen supply
pressure remains above 400 kPa (4 bar, 58 psi). You must also install a
gas-fail device that interrupts the solvent flowing from the LC system in the
event the supply of nitrogen fails.
Overload hazard
Prohibited:
To avoid injury or equipment damage caused by spilled
solvent, do not place reservoir bottles on top of the instrument or on its
front ledge, unless in the bottle tray provided.
Warning:
To prevent ignition of flammable solvent vapors in the
enclosed space of a mass spectrometer’s ion source, ensure that nitrogen
flows continuously through the source. The nitrogen supply pressure
must not fall below 400 kPa (4 bar, 58 psi) during an analysis requiring
the use of flammable solvents. Also a gas-fail device must be installed, to
interrupt the flow of LC solvent should the nitrogen supply fail.
Warning:
To prevent personal injury, ensure equipment placed on top of
the Xevo
