Decontamination And Cleaning; Decontamination - PerkinElmer AVIO 500 Customer Hardware And Service Manual

The fusion matrix will deposit on and dissolve the quartz torch over time.
Caution
It is recommended to use the unslotted (0 slots) torch because the
slotted torches will dissolve much faster.
Attention: La matrice de fusion déposera sur et dissoudre le flambeau de
quartz au cours du temps. Il est recommandé d'utiliser la non fendue (0
fentes) torche parce que les torches fendues vont se dissoudre
beaucoup plus vite.
• Heat the mixture slowly and intermittently until the system is characterized.
• If you use a muffle furnace rather than a flame for heating, make a trial using
the standard amount of flux but with a smaller amount of sample.
• Most reacted fusion mixtures are dissolved in acidic solutions. Observe the
precautions described previously for handling acids.
