WARNING—Self-Ignition of Solvents
Solvents with a self-ignition temperature below 150 °C might ignite
when in contact with a hot surface (for example, due to leakage in the
chromatography system).
Avoid the use of these solvents.
WARNING—Hazardous Vapors
Mobile phases and samples might contain volatile or flammable
solvents. The handling of these substances can pose health and safety
risks.
•
Avoid accumulation of these substances. Make sure that the
installation site is well ventilated.
•
Avoid open flames and sparks.
•
Do not operate the device in the presence of flammable gases or
fumes.
WARNING—Flammable and Hazardous Vapors
Flammable or hazardous vapors can escape from improperly sealed
sample containers with flammable or volatile samples and can
accumulate inside the device. This can pose health and safety risks and
lead to wrong results.
•
Observe the following safety guidelines with flammable and volatile
samples.
•
Use only vials or well plates that are made gas-tight by means of
caps, sealing mats, or sealing tapes. Refer to the latest list of closures
approved by Thermo Fisher Scientific.
•
Inspect vials for cracks or defects before use. Do not use cracked or
damaged vials.
