8490 Micro GC User Manual

1Introduction

Safety Information

Important safety warnings

There are several important safety notices that you should always

keep in mind when using the Micro GC.

Hydrogen safety

Hydrogen is a commonly used GC carrier gas. When mixed with air,

hydrogen can form explosive mixtures and has other dangerous

characteristics.

•Hydrogen is combustible over a wide range of concentrations. At

atmospheric pressure, hydrogen is combustible at concentrations

from 4% to 74.2% by volume.

•Hydrogen has the highest burning velocity of any gas.

•Hydrogen has a very low ignition energy.

•Hydrogen that is allowed to expand rapidly from high pressure into

the atmosphere can self-ignite.

•Hydrogen burns with a nonluminous flame which can be invisible

under bright light.

WARNING

When

When handling or using chemicals for preparation or use within

the Micro GC, all applicable local and national laboratory safety

practices must be followed. This includes, but is not limited to,

correct use of Personal Protective Equipment, correct use of

storage vials, and correct handling of chemicals, as defined in the

laboratory’s internal safety analysis and standard operating

procedures. Failure to adhere to laboratory safety practices could

lead to injury or death.

WARNING

When using hydrogen (H2) as the carrier gas, be aware that hydrogen gas

can create a fire or explosion hazard. Be sure that the supply is turned off

until all connections are made.

Hydrogen is flammable. Leaks, when confined in an enclosed space, may

create a fire or explosion hazard. In any application using hydrogen, leak

test all connections, lines, and valves before operating the instrument.

Always turn off the hydrogen supply at its source before working on the

instrument.

490 Micro GC User Manual 9

Safety symbols

Warnings in the manual or on the instrument must be observed during

all phases of operation, service, and repair of this instrument. Failure

to comply with these precautions violates safety standards of design

and the intended use of the instrument. Agilent Technologies assumes

no liability for the customer’s failure to comply with these

requirements.

case of a fault. Used with field wiring

terminals to indicate the terminal, which

must be connected to the ground before

operating equipment.



Skin puncture

Indicates sharp or suddenly moving parts

such as injection needles that may cause

injury.



Static discharge

Warning

Indicates instrument contains parts that can

be damaged by electrostatic discharge. Take

care for proper grounding before handling.



Do not touch



Touching this item may result in damage to

the instrument or personal injury.

generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if

not installed and used in accordance with the instruction

manual, may cause harmful interference to radio

communications.

Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to

cause harmful interference in which case the user will be

required to correct the interference at his own expense.

NOTICE This instrument has been tested per applicable

requirements of EMC Directive as required to carry the

European Union CE Mark. As such, this equipment may be

susceptible to radiation/interference levels or frequencies,

which are not within the tested limits.

General safety precautions

Follow the following safety practices to ensure safe equipment

operation:

•Perform periodic leak checks on all supply lines and

pneumatic plumbing.

•Do not allow gas lines to become kinked or punctured. Place

lines away from foot traffic and extreme heat or cold.

•Store organic solvents in fireproof, vented and clearly

labeled cabinets so they are easily identified as either toxic,

or flammable, or both types of materials.

•Do not accumulate waste solvents. Dispose of such materials

through a regulated disposal program and not through

municipal sewage lines.

WARNING

This instrument is designed for chromatographic analysis of

appropriately prepared samples. It must be operated using

appropriate gases or solvents and within specified maximum

ranges for pressure, flows, and temperatures as described in this

manual. If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the

manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment may be

impaired.
