CAUTION—Sharp Tip of Nebulizer Capillary
The fused-silica capillary inside the nebulizer protrudes from the
nebulizer tip. The nebulizer capillary is fragile and sharp and can cause
personal injury and damage to the capillary. To avoid personal injury,
always wear safety glasses when handling the nebulizer. Do not touch
the nebulizer tip. Handle the nebulizer with care.
NOTICE—Sensitive Nebulizer
The nebulizer is highly sensitive to contamination and damage. Observe
the following safety notes:
•
The nebulizer is highly sensitive to contamination. Even minute
particles on the nebulizer can lead to contamination and poor
detector performance. Always wear clean-room gloves when you
install or remove the nebulizer.
•
The fused-silica capillary inside the nebulizer is fragile and may be
subject to mechanical vibrations during transport. Visually inspect
the nebulizer surfaces and the nebulizer tip upon unpacking. For
pictures of the nebulizer, see the Preparations below.
• Operating the nebulizer with a gas pressure other than the pressure
specified for this nebulizer can damage the nebulizer and the
detector. After installation of the nebulizer, set the nebulizer gas
pressure to the pressure that is specified for your nebulizer. The
nebulizer gas pressure is defined on the gas pressure certificate that
is shipped with the nebulizer.
