Clean solvents
Clean solvents ensure reproducible results and permit you to operate with
minimal instrument maintenance.
Warning: To avoid injury, familiarize yourself with materials
and their hazards, observe Good Laboratory Practice (GLP),
and consult your organization’s safety representative
regarding proper use and handling.
See the Material Safety Data Sheets for the solvents you use.
