General
A Graphite Tube Atomizer, used in conjunction with an Atomic
Absorption spectrometer, uses compressed inert gases and high
voltages. The system generates radiant energy and hazardous wastes
including corrosive fluids and flammable liquids.
Careless, improper or unskilled use of this system can cause death or
serious injury to personnel, or severe damage to equipment and
property.
All users of an AA (Atomic Absorption) and GTA (Graphite Tube
Atomizer) instrument must be familiar with the correct operating
procedures. Appropriate safety practices have been included in this
operation manual and your spectrometer operation manual, to help
you operate the equipment safely. Read all safety practices
thoroughly before attempting to operate your system.
The covers on instruments and accessories must not be removed by
the operator, except as permitted for the routine maintenance tasks
detailed in the relevant operation manuals.
Service is to be performed only by Agilent field support engineers.
