Introduction
7890A GC Safety Manual 15
When handling µECDs:
• Never eat, drink, or smoke.
• Always wear safety glasses when working with or near open µECDs.
• Wear protective clothing such as laboratory jackets, safety glasses, and
gloves, and follow good laboratory practices. Wash hands thoroughly
with a mild nonabrasive cleaner after handling µECDs.
• Cap the inlet and outlet fittings when the µECD is not in use.
• Connect the µECD exhaust vent to a fume hood or vent it to the
outside. See the latest revision of 10 CFR Part 20 (including Appendix
B), or the applicable state regulation. For other countries, consult with
the appropriate agency for equivalent requirements.
Agilent Technologies recommends a vent line internal diameter of 6 mm
(1/4- inch) or greater. With a line of this diameter, the length is not
critical.
Do not use solvents to clean the µECD.
You may not open the µECD cell unless authorized to do so by your local nuclear
regulatory agency. Do not disturb the four socket-head bolts. These hold the cell
halves together. United States customers removing or disturbing them is a violation
of the terms of the exemption and could create a safety hazard.
