Safety Practices and Hazards
Perform leak tests at all joints and seals every day before the
instrument is used. Test for leaks with a brush and soapy water or a
proprietary leak-detecting solution. NEVER use a naked flame when
testing for leaks.
Ultraviolet Radiation
Hazardous ultraviolet radiation is emitted by flames, hollow cathode
lamps and deuterium lamps. This radiation can cause serious damage
to human eyes and skin.
Always wear safety glasses conforming to an approved standard, and
certified or otherwise warranted to protect the eyes from ultraviolet
radiation. Never look directly at the light emitted by a hollow cathode
lamp.
When using a flame, always operate your spectrometer with the
flame shield closed, and the sample compartment front panel and
chimney in place.
