Safety for Users
Once they have been used, never re-use capillaries in other
areas of the HPLC system.
Only use a given PEEK fitting for one specific port and never
re-use it for other ports. Always install new PEEK fittings on
each separate port.
Follow KNAUER or manufacturer's instructions on caring for
the columns
More safety-relevant information is listed below:
flammability: Organic solvents are highly flammable. Since
capillaries can detach from their screw fittings and allow sol-
vent to escape, it is prohibited to have any open flames near
the analytical system.
solvent tray: Risk of electrical shock or short circuit if liquids
get into the device's interior. For this reason, place all bottles
in a solvent tray.
solvent lines: Install capillaries and tubing in such a way that
liquids cannot get into the interior in case of a leak.
leaks: Regularly check if any system components are leaking.
power cable: Defective power cables are not to be used to
connect the device and the power supply system.
self-ignition point: Only use eluents that have a self-ignition
point higher than 150 °C under normal ambient conditions.
power strip: If several devices are connected to one power
strip, always consider the maximum power consumption of
each device.
power supply: Only connect devices to voltage sources,
whose voltage equals the device's voltage.
toxicity: Organic eluents are toxic above a certain concentra-
tion. Ensure that work areas are always well-ventilated! Wear
protective gloves and safety glasses when working on the
device!
Never use the system in potentially explosive atmospheres with-
out appropriate protective equipment. For further information,
contact the Technical Support of KNAUER.
At any time, take the device completely out of operation by
either switching off the power switch or by pulling the power
plug.
The device may be opened by the KNAUER Technical Support or
any company authorized by KNAUER only.
