Anatel Operator Manual
Appendix E: Material Data Safety Sheets
There are some inherent hazards associated with using the Anatel 643a TOC Analyzers.
1,4-benzoquinone, for instance, is one of the reagents that is used for system suitability testing
of the instrument. This chemical produces hazardous waste byproducts. The resulting effluent
is potentially dangerous both personally and environmentally.
In the event of instrument failure, the sample discharge may contain 1,4-benzoquinone,
a hazardous substance.
Exercise extreme care and use established handling practices when working with chemicals.
All chemicals should be considered hazardous—avoid direct contact with skin or clothing.
Refer to Section 2.3.2 for recommendations on properly plumbing the instrument; Anatel 643a
wastes must be disposed of in accordance with all applicable local regulations.
The attached Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) are furnished to provide users with the
chemical properties and precautionary procedures for the reagents and calibration standards
recommended for use in the Anatel 643a. Anatel cannot be responsible for the ultimate
suitability or regulatory compliance of the chemicals used.
Hach Ultra cannot address all health and safety issues associated with using the Anatel 643a
Analyzer. Inherent dangers include the handling of hazardous chemicals. It is strongly
recommended that you read the Operator Manual thoroughly before installing or operating
