Before installing, operating, or maintaining this equipment, it is
imperative that all hazards and preventive measures are fully
understood. While specific hazards may vary according to
location and application, heed the following general warnings:
Avoid hazardous practices! If you use this instrument in
any way not specified in this manual, the protection
provided by the instrument may be impaired.
Liquids associated with this instrument may be classified
as carcinogenic, biohazard, flammable, or radioactive.
Should these liquids be used, it is highly recommended that
this application be accomplished in an isolated
environment designed for these types of materials in
accordance with federal, state, and local regulatory laws,
and in compliance with your company's chemical/hygiene
plan in the event of a spill.
If you are using flammable solvents or chemicals with this
system, vapor concentration levels may exceed the
maximum exposure levels as recommended by OSHA
Guide 1910.1000. To reduce those levels to a safe exposure,
Teledyne ISCO recommends that you place the system in
a laboratory hood designed for the purpose of ventilation.
This hood should be constructed and operated in
accordance with federal state and local regulations. In the
event of a solvent or chemical spill, your organization
should have a plan to deal with these mishaps. In all cases,
use good laboratory practices and standard safety
procedures.
The CombiFlash NextGen system has redundant safety devices to
limit pressure to less than 300 psi (2068 kPa), 150 psi (1034 kPa)
for systems without an automated injection valve. RediSep
columns smaller than 100 g are CE certified using standard
IEC61010-1 for use on the CombiFlash NextGen. RediSep columns
100 g or larger. 100 g meet Pressure Vessel Directive 97/23/EC.
