Connecting liquid waste lines
Article number: 80925
To ensure that waste materials are safely drained to the waste container, connect both the bottle tray and mass spectrometer’s drain cup to the waste container.
Required materials
- Chemical-resistant, powder-free gloves
- Waste container
To connect the liquid waste line:
Warning: To avoid personal contamination with biologically hazardous, toxic, and corrosive materials, wear chemical-resistant, powder-free gloves when performing this procedure.
- Place a suitable waste container below the mass spectrometer.
Notice: To avoid distorting the drip tray or causing the drain cup to leak, restrain the drain cup when attaching or removing the waste tubing.
- Slide a drain line over the barbed fitting of the drain at the bottom, left-hand side of the mass spectrometer.
Warning: To prevent leakage of biologically hazardous, toxic, or corrosive materials:
- Do not crimp or bend drain lines. A crimp or bend can impede flow to the waste container.
- Empty the waste container before the lower ends of the drain tubes are covered by waste solvent.
- Route the waste lines to the waste container. If necessary, shorten the waste tubes so that their ends are above the surface of the waste solvent.
