PlasmaQuant MS Series Safety Practices and Hazards

1Safety Practices and Hazards

The Analytik Jena PlasmaQuant MS (ICP-MS) and accessories have been carefully

designed so that when used properly it is an accurate, fast, flexible, and safe analytical

system. If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the

protection provided by the equipment may be impaired. Information on safety

practices appears throughout the documentation provided with all instruments and

accessories. Before using or servicing the instrument or accessories, you must

thoroughly read these safety practices. Observe all relevant safety practices at all

times.

Operation of the ICP-MS involves the use of compressed gases, high voltage radio

frequency energy, and hazardous materials, including corrosive fluids and flammable

liquids. When installed and used properly, the ICP-MS and its accessories provide an

accurate, fast, flexible, and safe analytical system. If you install and use the equipment

in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the

equipment may be impaired. This can cause death or serious injury to personnel, or

severe damage to equipment and property.

1.4 General Safety Hazards

This section describes the general hazards encountered with the ICP-MS instrument

and the safety practices to observe to avoid harm.

1.4.1 Plasma

The plasma is very hot (>5,000 °C) and radiates dangerous levels of radio-frequency

(RF) and ultraviolet (UV) energy. The work coils operate routinely at 2000 Root Mean

Square Voltage (VRMS) (and even higher at ignition) at 27.12 MHz. Exposure to the

RF and UV energy can cause severe skin damage and cataracts of the eyes, while close

contact with the operating plasma can result in severe heat burns to the skin and an

electrical discharge which can jump a considerable distance and cause death, severe

electric shock, or sub-surface skin burns which will not heal.

Safety Practices and Hazards PlasmaQuant MS Series

Shielding around the plasma compartment is designed to reduce UV, visible, and RF

radiation to safe levels while still permitting easy access to the torch when

maintenance is required. The spectrometer has an interlock system which is designed

to extinguish the plasma if either plasma compartment latch is opened or if any of the

cooling water, argon gas, or air flow rates drop below the required minimum level.

DO NOT attempt to bypass the interlock system. Before opening the plasma

compartment lid, ALWAYS extinguish the plasma from the software.

The torch, interface, and their surroundings remain hot for several minutes after

the plasma is extinguished. Touching this area before it has cooled sufficiently may

result in burns. Allow the torch, cones, coils, interface, and torch compartment to

cool before carrying out any work in this area, or wear heat resistant gloves.

The plasma system has been carefully designed to operate safely and effectively

when using torches and related components which conform to Analytik Jena's

design criteria. Use of non-approved components in the plasma compartment may

render the system inoperative and/or hazardous. Use only torches and related

components supplied or authorized by Analytik Jena.

1.4.2 Electricity

The ICP-MS and some accessories contain electrical circuits, devices, and components

operating at dangerous voltages. Contact with these circuits, devices, and components

can cause death, serious injury, or painful electrical shock.

The safety classification is given as Class 1 (EN 61010-1).

Panels or covers which are fastened by screws on the instrument and accessories

must be opened ONLY by an Analytik Jena trained, qualified, or approved field

service engineer. Consult the documentation or product labels supplied with your

accessories, computer, and other peripherals to determine which parts are

operator-accessible.

Application of the wrong supply voltage can create a fire hazard and a potentially

serious shock hazard, and could seriously damage the ICP-MS system, accessories,

and any attached ancillary equipment. Consult the documentation supplied with

your accessories, computer, and other peripherals for their specific voltage

requirements.

Replace blown fuses with fuses of the size and rating as stipulated in the label

adjacent to the fuse holder or in the documentation. Always ensure that the

instrument is turned off and disconnected from the main supply before attempting

any fuse replacement.

NEVER use power cords with faulty or frayed insulation.

Never override or disable the instrument interlocks. Failure to observe this warning

could expose you to high voltage, resulting in death or serious injury.

PlasmaQuant MS Series Safety Practices and Hazards

1.4.3 Compressed Gas

All compressed gases (other than air) can create a hazard if they leak into the

atmosphere. Even small leaks in gas supply systems can be dangerous. Any leak

(except that of air) can result in an oxygen deficient atmosphere which can cause

asphyxiation. The area in which cylinders are stored and the area surrounding the

instrument must be adequately ventilated to prevent such gas accumulations.

Gas cylinders must be stored and handled strictly in accordance with local safety

codes and regulations. Cylinders must be used and stored only in a vertical position

and secured to an immovable structure or a properly constructed cylinder stand.

Move cylinders only by securing them to a properly constructed cart.

Use only approved regulator and hose connectors (refer to the gas supplier’s

instructions). Keep gas cylinders cool and properly labeled. All cylinders are fitted

with a pressure relief device that will rupture and empty the cylinder if the internal

pressure is raised above the safe limit by excessive temperatures. Ensure that you

have the correct cylinder before connecting it to the instrument.

The principal gas used by the ICP-MS instrument is argon. The ONLY integrated

collision reaction cell (iCRC) gases to be used by the ICP-MS instrument are

hydrogen and helium. Some models (Elite) may be fitted for N2or O2connections

depending on options selected. Do NOT connect any other gases than those

specified to the correct inlet fittings. Use only instrument-grade gases with your

spectrometer.

If using cryogenic gases (for example, liquid argon), prevent severe burns by

wearing suitable protective clothing and gloves.

Never locate gas cylinders near an ignition source or in a position subjected to

direct heat.

The ICP-MS instruments may be used with hydrogen gas in the iCRC system for certain

applications. Hydrogen gas has several unique safety considerations which all

operators of this instrument should be aware of if this gas is being used.

It 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 very low ignition energy, and burns with no luminous flame. A

hydrogen fire may be invisible under bright ambient light.

The temperature increases with gas expansion, and if it is allowed to expand

rapidly from high pressure, hydrogen gas can self-ignite.

There are numerous safety features designed into the ICP-MS instrument to prevent a

serious leak or accumulation of hydrogen gas, but appropriate safety precautions must

always be taken when working with any flammable pressurized gas. Your local

workplace safety authority may have additional requirements and regulations for the

use of combustible gases.

Always test for leaks after any changes to or maintenance of the hydrogen supply

system (e.g., changing the gas cylinder or reconnecting the supply line to the back

of the ICP-MS).

Hydrogen Safety

Safety Practices and Hazards PlasmaQuant MS Series

In the event of a power failure, hydrogen gas may continue to flow from the supply

even if the ICP-MS is completely off. Always manually shut off the hydrogen gas

supply valve when there is no power to the ICP-MS.

Instead of using pressurized gas cylinders as a source of hydrogen, consider using a

hydrogen gas generator instead. These devices only produce the required amount of

hydrogen “on demand” while the ICP-MS is in operation, and there is no storage of

hydrogen gas when the system is not being used. Gas generators are available from

Analytik Jena as optional equipment, as well as from most major industrial/scientific

gas suppliers.

The ICP-MS is available with an accessory that introduces a small flow of oxygen into

the plasma for certain specific applications (the direct analysis of organic solvents). As

with hydrogen gas, oxygen has several specific safety precautions that end users

should be aware of.

Oxygen gas is a powerful oxidizer which will rapidly accelerate combustion of many

materials.

Oxygen cylinders should be handled with care because serious explosions have

resulted from contact between oil and high pressure oxygen. Oil or grease should

never be used on connections to an oxygen cylinder or gas line carrying oxygen.

Oxygen is incompatible with all flammable materials and should be stored

separately.

Never allow oil, greases, and other readily-combustible substances to come in

contact with oxygen cylinders, valves, regulators, and fittings.

1.4.4 Heat, Ozone, Vapors, and Fumes

Heat, ozone, vapors, and fumes generated by the plasma can be hazardous, and must

be extracted from the instrument by an exhaust system. Ensure that an exhaust

system of the appropriate type is fitted to the instrument. The system must be vented

to the outside air in accordance with local regulations, and never within the building.

Regularly check the exhaust system to ensure that it is functioning correctly.

Always switch the exhaust fan on BEFORE igniting the plasma.

1.4.5 Hazardous Materials

Use of the ICP-MS and accessories may involve materials, solvents, and solutions

which are flammable, corrosive, toxic, or otherwise hazardous. Careless, improper, or

unskilled use of such materials, solvents, and solutions can cause explosions, fire,

toxicity, and other hazards that can cause death, serious personal injury, and/or

damage to equipment and property.

Always ensure that laboratory safety practices governing the use, handling, and

disposal of hazardous materials are strictly observed. These safety practices should

include the wearing of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), including appropriate

safety clothing and hand/eye protection.
