Spilled solvents hazard
Prohibited:
solvent, do not place reservoir bottles on top of the instrument or on its
front ledge, unless in the bottle tray provided.
Flammable solvents hazard
Warning:
enclosed space of a mass spectrometer's ion source, ensure that nitrogen
flows continuously through the source. The nitrogen supply pressure
must not fall below 400 kPa (4 bar, 58 psi) during an analysis requiring
the use of flammable solvents. Also a gas-fail device must be installed, to
interrupt the flow of LC solvent should the nitrogen supply fail.
When using flammable solvents, ensure that a stream of nitrogen
continuously flushes the instrument's source, and the nitrogen supply
pressure remains above 400 kPa (4 bar, 58 psi). You must also install a
gas-fail device that interrupts the solvent flowing from the LC system in the
event the supply of nitrogen fails.
