Leak and Waste Handling
Leak and Waste Handling
The Agilent InfinityLab LC Series has been designed for safe leak and waste 
handling. It is important that all security concepts are understood and 
instructions are carefully followed.
The solvent cabinet is designed to store a maximum volume of 8 L solvent. The 
maximum volume for an individual bottle stored in the solvent cabinet should not 
exceed 2 L. For details, see the usage guideline for the Agilent Infinity II Solvent 
Cabinets (a printed copy of the guideline has been shipped with the solvent 
cabinet, electronic copies are available on the Internet).
All leak plane outlets are situated in a consistent position so that all Infinity and 
Infinity II modules can be stacked on top of each other. Waste tubes are guided 
through a channel on the right hand side of the instrument, keeping the front 
access clear from tubes.
The leak plane provides leak management by catching all internal liquid leaks, 
guiding them to the leak sensor for leak detection, and passing them on to the 
next module below, if the leak sensor fails. The leak sensor in the leak plane 
stops the running system as soon as the leak detection level is reached.
Solvent and condensate is guided through the waste channel into the waste 
container:
• from the detector's flow cell outlet
• from the Multisampler needle wash port
• from the Sample Cooler or Sample Thermostat (condensate)
• from the pump's Seal Wash Sensor (if applicable)
• from the pump's Purge Valve or Multipurpose Valve
