SAFETY SUMMARY
Precautions on Use of Solvents
•
Fluororesin, PEEK, quartz and SUS316 materials are used for the wetted parts of the
instrument. Never use solvents that would corrode these materials.
•
This instrument has internal parts made of materials that could be corroded by strongly
acidic solutions, strongly alkaline solutions or organic solvents. Take care not to spill
these corrosive solutions or solvents into the inside of the instrument. If a corrosive
solution or solvent spills inside, wipe it off immediately.
•
For use of the liquid leak sensor, follow the instructions given below.
Turn on the leak sensor function when feeding a solvent.
(a)
The leak sensor function may remain inactive in cases where the amount of leakage
(b)
is too small. Furthermore, leakage of a highly volatile solvent may not be detected.
Be sure to check for liquid leakage regularly to prevent a possible serious accident
regardless of whether the leak sensor is activated or not.
In routine inspection of the instrument, visually check for liquid leakage before
(a)
attempting measurements.
In periodic inspection of the instrument, check that the leak sensor works normally.
(b)
•
Referring to the instruction manual accompanying each module unit of the liquid
chromatograph system, set up the automatic liquid feed stop function (such as the
pressure limiter function of the pump unit) to prevent a possible trouble.
Disposal of Waste Solution
Be sure to collect waste solution and treat it for proper disposal in accordance with the
relevant laws and regulations regarding water pollution control and sewage treatment.
Improper treatment of waste solution may result in environmental pollution and could also
lead to a penalty.
