1.2.1 Tubing and capillary connections
CAUTION
Leaks in tubing and capillary connections are a safety risk. Tighten all
connections well by hand. Avoid applying excessive force to tubing con-
nections. Damaged tubing ends lead to leakage. Appropriate tools can
be used to loosen connections.
Check the connections regularly for leakage. If the instrument is used
mainly in unattended operation, then weekly inspections are manda-
tory.

flammable solvents and chemicals.
￭ Set up the instrument in a well-ventilated location.
￭ Keep all sources of flame far from the workplace.

￭ Follow the safety instructions of the chemical manufacturer.
