Solvent Information

Toxic, flammable and hazardous solvents, samples and reagents
WAR N IN G
The handling of solvents, samples and reagents can hold health and safety
risks.
When working with these substances observe appropriate safety

procedures (for example by wearing goggles, safety gloves and
protective clothing) as described in the material handling and safety
data sheet supplied by the vendor, and follow good laboratory practice.
Avoid high vapor concentrations. Keep the solvent temperature at least

40 K below the boiling point of the solvent used. This includes the
solvent temperature in the sample compartment. For the solvents
methanol and ethanol keep the solvent temperature at least 25 K below
the boiling point.
Do not operate the instrument in an explosive atmosphere.

Reduce the volume of substances to the minimum required for the

analysis.
Never exceed the maximum permissible volume of solvents (8 L) in the

solvent cabinet. Do not use bottles that exceed the maximum
permissible volume as specified in the usage guideline for solvent
cabinet.
Ground the waste container.

Regularly check the filling level of the waste container. The residual free

volume in the waste container must be large enough to collect the waste
liquid.
To achieve maximal safety, regularly check the tubing for correct

installation.
