Solvent Bottle

In the event of a solvent spillage, isolate the power to the OilExpress
System immediately and then clean up the solvent spill. The system can
then be powered up but the spectrometer should be allowed to stabilize
for at least two hours before measurements are taken.
WARNING
The recommended solvent for the OilExpress System is heptane. This should be aspirated
from a supply adhering to laboratory safety standards that advise on its safe storage,
handling, use and disposal.
If using the solvent bottle supplied with the OilExpress System (Figure 9), the following is
recommended:
• The solvent bottle should be re-filled away from the OilExpress System, in a
well-ventilated area, and precautions should be taken against static discharge.
• The bottle lid should be used at all times. The solvent bottle lid should be correctly
fitted to the bottle during operation of the OilExpress System.
The bottle should be stored to the rear of instrumentation at a location where it will not
•
be knocked accidentally.
