Use of Flammable Solvents and Samples
WARNING
The instrument contains a hot source and contact with flammable
vapors may cause an explosion. When working with flammable
solvents or samples, particularly during unattended operation with
flow-cells, it is recommended that the instrument optics area should
be continuously purged with dry air or nitrogen to maintain a
positive pressure and prevent flammable vapor entering the
instrument.
WARNING
If flammable solvents or samples are spilled on the instrument and
there is any possibility that they have entered the interior (by coming
into contact with cover gaskets for example) then the instrument
must be switched off immediately and disconnected from the power
supply. The optics area should then be thoroughly purged with dry
air or nitrogen, or the main cover should be opened to thoroughly
ventilate the optics area before proceeding.
WARNING
Flammable solvents or samples should not be stored on or near the
instrument. Handling of such materials during preparation should be
performed in a safe area away from the instrument such as a fume
cabinet.
