Flame Operation
Flammable Solvents
Unskilled, improper, or careless use of flammable solvents in or near
an atomic absorption spectrometer can create explosion hazards and
fire hazards. These can result in death, or severe personal injury or
burns.
Remember at all times that the combination of a flame and flammable
solvents can present a serious hazard. All relevant safety practices
governing the use of flammable solvents must be strictly followed.
To reduce the possibility of fire or explosion:

When initially selecting an organic solvent, choose a solvent
having the highest flash point consistent with your analytical
requirements.
Never use a solvent having a specific gravity lower than 0.75.
Never leave uncovered containers of flammable solvent standing
near the burner. When aspirating such solvents, always use a
covered container and feed the capillary tubing through a 2 mm
diameter hole in the cover. Always use the smallest volume of
solvent consistent with your analytical requirements.
