Laboratory Supply Requirements
Laboratory supply requirements vary with applications.

Cleaning solvents

Cleaning tasks for the MSD require the following HPLC-grade (or better)
solvents:
•Methylene chloride
•Isopropyl alcohol
•Methanol
•Acetone
•Wate r
Proper storage, handling, and disposal of these chemi cals is required for
personal and environmental safety.

Data system supplies

You will need paper for printing the results of the testing done during
installation and later for printing repor ts of your analyses. You will also need
appropriate supplies for making backup copies of your data files.
CAUTION Do not use carbon disulfide as a cleaning solvent on or around the MSD. It is corrosive
and will damage the analyzer. Use of carbon disulfide as a cleaner will void the
warranty on the analyzer.
Carbon disulfide may be used as a sample solvent in standard size injections (typically
2 µL or less).
WARNING Chemical solvents should be considered hazardous and must be handled with care.
Contact your chemical supplier for solvent handling and safety information,
preferably a material safety data sheet (MSDS).
