Page 4: Important Safety Warnings
Introduction Important Safety Warnings Before moving on, there are several important safety notices that you should always keep in mind when using the Agilent GC. When handling/using chemicals for preparation or use within the GC, all WA RNING applicable local and national laboratory safety practices must be followed. This would include, but is not limited to, correct use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), correct use of storage vials, and correct handling of chemicals, as defined in the laboratory’s internal safety analysis and standard operating procedures. - Page 5 Introduction Electrostatic discharge is a threat to GC electronics The printed circuit (PC) boards in the GC can be damaged by electrostatic discharge. Do not touch any of the boards unless it is absolutely necessary. If you must handle them, wear a grounded wrist strap and take other antistatic precautions.

Page 6: Hydrogen Safety
Introduction Hydrogen Safety Hydrogen gas may be used as carrier gas, and/or as fuel for the FID and NPD. When mixed with air, hydrogen can form fire hazard. Hydrogen is flammable. Leaks may create a fire hazard. In any application using WA RNING hydrogen, leak test all connections, lines, and valves before operating the instrument. - Page 7 Introduction • The small heated zones are turned off. • An alarm tone sounds. To recover from this state, fix the cause of the shutdown (tank valve closed, serious leak, others). Turn the instrument off, then back on. The GC cannot always detect leaks in inlet and/or detector gas streams. For this WA RNING reason, it is vital that column fittings should always be either connected to a column, or have a cap or plug installed.

Page 8: Uncombusted Hazardous Gases
Introduction Uncombusted Hazardous Gases During normal operation of the GC with many detectors and inlets, some of the carrier gas and sample vents outside the instrument through the split vent, septum purge vent, and detector exhaust. If any sample components are toxic or noxious, or if hydrogen is used as the carrier gas, these exhausts must be vented to a fume hood. -

Wear disposable plastic gloves and observe normal laboratory safety precautions. 2 Contact your local Agilent Technologies sales office or distributor for ECD disposal instructions 3 Include a letter stating the condition of abuse. - Page 10 For other countries, consult with the appropriate agency for equivalent requirements. Agilent Technologies recommends a vent line internal diameter of 6 mm (1/4-inch) or greater. With a line of this diameter, the length is not critical. Intuvo 9000 GC Safety Manual...
