8.3.1 Collection Rack and Tray Cleaning

Risk of fire or equipment damage. Unclean collection racks and
tray might inhibit their conductive properties. The racks and
tray must be kept clean to dissipate static electricity.
The collection tube racks and tray are made of conductive
plastic. Dirt, film, or coatings might prevent their ability to
dissipate static electricity. To avoid problems that possibly
result from an electrostatic discharge, clean the racks and tray
monthly. Use distilled water with a mild detergent. For
tougher stains, use isopropyl alcohol.

8.4 Tubing Inspection

Risk of fire or equipment damage. Faulty tubing, fittings, and
drains may allow organic solvents to pool in unsafe areas,
creating a potential for dangerous levels of flammable vapors.
Improper draining may damage the instrument's internal
components.
Perform a tubing inspection monthly:
1. Visually inspect the solvent, waste, and drain tubing. The
tubing must be free of any damage, kinks, or deterioration.
Fittings should show no signs of leaks.
2. Test the collection tray drain and top shelf drain by
connecting a vacuum or air supply source to the outlet end
of the drain tubes. Then, verify the presence of such
vacuum or air supply source on the drain hole (Figures 8-1
and 8-2).
Correct any deficiencies before returning the instrument to
operation.
