Waters APGC - Removing vials from the vial carriers

2-18 Setting up the APGC
Removing vials from the vial carriers
You must disconnect the APGC from the mass spectrometer before removing
vials from the vial carriers (see page 2-17).
Required materials
• Chemical-resistant, powder-free gloves
• Tweezers
To remove vials from the vial carriers
:
1. Prepare the instrument for working on its source (see page 2-2).
2. Pull the APGC source enclosure release (located at the bottom,
right-hand side) outward, and then swing open the enclosure.
3. Use the tweezers to remove the vials from the vial carriers.
4. Swing the source enclosure closed.
Warning: To avoid personal contamination with biologically
hazardous, toxic, or corrosive materials, and to avoid
spreading contamination to uncontaminated surfaces, wear
clean, chemical-resistant, powder-free gloves when handling
source components.
Warning: To avoid electric shock, prepare the instrument for
work performed on its source (see page 2-2) before removing
vials from the vial carriers.
Warning: To avoid burn injuries, take great care while working
with the source and vials; they can be hot.
