24 Agilent 5100 and 5110 ICP-OES Site Preparation Guide
Workbench
The Agilent ICP-OES is a precision optical instrument. The
workbench must be free from vibration and must be stable and
strong enough to support the total weight of the equipment to be
placed on top of the workbench. The bench top should be large
enough to permit free circulation of air through the main instrument
and around each of the accessories.
The information provided in the weights and dimensions table will
help make planning easier. Portable or semi-permanent trolleys can
be used as workbenches for the spectrometer system, but you must
lock the wheels. Accessories such as the Sample Preparation System
(SPS) Autosampler, PC and printer can be positioned on a trolley. A
specially designed SPS trolley is available from Agilent.
To avoid damage through spillage of samples being used, the
instrument bench top should be covered with a material that is
corrosion-resistant and impervious to liquid spillage. Generally, for
comfortable working conditions and easy access to the instrument
sample introduction system, Agilent recommends that the height of
the workbench be approximately 900 mm (36 in) high. Refer to
Figure 1.
