Safety information
General
The Waters
®
GCT™ Premier Mass Spectrometer is designed solely for use as
a mass spectrometer; any attempt to use it for any other purpose can damage
the instrument, and will invalidate its warranty.
The Waters GCT Premier Mass Spectrometer
conforms to European standard
EN61010-1:2001, Safety requirements for electrical equipment for
measurement, control, and laboratory use - Part 1: General requirements.
The instrument has been designed and tested according to recognized safety
standards. If the instrument is used in a manner not specified by the
manufacturer, the protection provided to the user may be impaired.
Whenever the safety protection of the instrument has been compromised,
disconnect the instrument from all power sources, and secure the instrument
against unintended operation.
The instrument must be installed so that the operator can easily isolate the
instrument from the mains power supply at all times.
Biological hazard
When you analyze physiological fluids, take all necessary precautions, and
treat all specimens as potentially infectious. Precautions are outlined in “CDC
Guidelines on Specimen Handling,” CDC - NIH Manual, 1984.
Suitable protection against biohazards must be taken during maintenance
procedures and cleaning, as parts of the instrument are exposed to potentially
infectious samples.
Chemical hazard
Good Laboratory Practice should be adhered to when using potentially toxic,
caustic, or flammable solvents and analytes.
