Chapter 3: Getting Starte
When using flammable or hazardous
solvents, the vacuum pump should be
vented to or operated inside a fume
hood.
Hazardous materials such as strong
acids or bases, radioactive substances
and volatile organics must be handled
carefully and promptly cleaned up if
spilled. If a sample is spilled in the
collector chamber it must immediately
be cleaned up.
Several components of the Freeze
Dryer, which are located inside the
chamber, are made of stainless steel
which can be attacked by acids. Use
of acids can result in degradation of
the product and the vacuum pump.
Use care when using aggressive liquids
which can damage the Freeze Dryer
and thoroughly clean the Freeze
Dryer after each use. Instructions for
cleaning are in Chapter 5: Maintaining
Your Freeze Dryer.
