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

Water

Proper storage, handling, and disposal of these chemicals is required for personal and environmental safety.

C A U TI O N

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).

 

 

 

Chemical solvents should be considered hazardous and must be handled with care.

WA R N I N G

Contact your chemical supplier for solvent handling and safety information,

 

 

preferably a material safety data sheet (MSDS).

 

 

Data system supplies

You will need paper for printing the results of the testing done during installation and later for printing reports of your analyses. You will also need appropriate supplies for making backup copies of your data files.
