SD-1 Solvent Delivery - User Manual
Only use solvents compatible with the HPLC system tubings and fittings.
Employ static measuring and static discharge devices to safeguard against the
buildup of static electricity.
In unattended operation, do not use organic solvents having an ignition point below
70 °C.
Do not bring a heat or flame source near the instrument.
The area in which solvents are stored and the area surrounding the instrument must
be adequately ventilated to prevent accumulations of gas.
Always check the condition of the instrument (leakage of solvent or waste solution,
leakage of solvent inside the instrument). If an abnormality is found, stop operation
immediately.
When using flammable chemicals, be careful about possible ignition due to static
electricity. To prevent the build-up of static electricity, use a conductive container
for waste.
Use only approved regulator and hose connectors (refer to the supplier's
instructions).
Keep solvents cool and properly labeled. Ensure that you have the correct solvent
before connecting it to the instrument.
