General Safety Information
Solvents
Toxic, flammable and hazardous solvents, samples and reagents
The handling of solvents, samples and reagents can hold health and safety risks.
➔ When working with these substances observe appropriate safety procedures (for
example by wearing goggles, safety gloves and protective clothing) as described in
the material handling and safety data sheet supplied by the vendor, and follow
good laboratory practice.
➔ Do not use solvents with an auto-ignition temperature below 200 °C (392 °F). Do
not use solvents with a boiling point below 56 °C (133 °F).
➔ Avoid high vapor concentrations. Always keep the temperature in the sample
compartment at least 25 K below the boiling point of the solvent used.
➔ Do not operate the instrument in an explosive atmosphere.
➔ Do not use solvents of ignition Class IIC according IEC 60079-20-1 (for example,
carbon disulfide).
➔ Reduce the volume of substances to the minimum required for the analysis.
➔ Never exceed the maximum permissible volume of solvents (8 L) in the solvent
cabinet. Do not use bottles that exceed the maximum permissible volume as
specified in the usage guideline for solvent cabinet.
➔ Ground the waste container.
➔ Regularly check the filling level of the waste container. The residual free volume in
the waste container must be large enough to collect the waste liquid.
➔ To achieve maximal safety, regularly check the tubing for correct installation.
For details, see the usage guideline for the solvent cabinet. A printed copy of the guideline
has been shipped with the solvent cabinet, electronic copies are available in the Agilent
Information Center or via the Internet.
