B. Regulatory and Safety
Use caution when working with the sample preparation
extractor:

Always wear eye protection when using the sample
preparation extractor.

Use only Hanson supplied extraction pouches.

Do not use extraction pouches that have been severely
stressed or used.
o The extraction pouches are compatible with
commonly encountered solvents used for HPLC
such as, organic alcohols, acetonitrile, organic
acids, water and aqueous buffer solutions. The
extraction pouches should not be used with
chlorinated organic solvents, concentrated
mineral acids, such as nitric, phosphoric or
sulfuric acids, or any compounds related to the
above listings. In addition, non-polar solvents
such as hexane and related hydrocarbons
should not be used in the XTRX500 pouches.
Also, do not use highly volatile materials such
as ether or similar solvents. All solvents used
must be at ambient temperature and not
heated. The system is not to be used with
effervescent tablets or mixtures that produce a
gas when mixed together. The XTRX500
should not be used with solvents that self-ignite.
There are no operator-serviceable parts on the electronic
boards. If an electronic board fails, contact a Teledyne Hanson
representative.
The sample preparation extractor is to only be used with
Teledyne Hanson approved consumables. Extraction pouches
are single-use consumables and must not be used more than
once. It is considered to be best practice to store the XTRX500
with the cassette in place. The case work should be inspected
periodically to ensure that no damage has been sustained. In
the event of any damage contact a Teledyne Hanson
representative before continuing to use the XTRX500.
Care should be taken when loading and unloading the cassette
from the XTRX500 unit. Do not use excessive force as this can
puncture the extraction pouch and cause leaks.
To prevent damage to the XTRX500 and XTRX500 software
only Teledyne Hanson approved devices should be connected
to the instrument via the data port. This port should not be used
for charging mobile phones or other devices.
