Handling Leak and Waste
The Agilent InfinityLab LC Series has been designed for safe leak and waste handling. It is important that all security concepts are understood and instructions are carefully followed.
The solvent cabinet is designed to store a maximum volume of 8 L solvent. The maximum volume for an individual bottle stored in the solvent cabinet should not exceed 2 L. For details, see the usage guideline for the Agilent Infinity III Solvent Cabinets (a printed copy of the guideline has been shipped with the solvent cabinet, electronic copies are available on the Internet).
All leak plane outlets are situated in a consistent position so that all Infinity and Infinity II/III modules can be stacked on top of each other. Waste tubes are guided through a channel on the right hand side of the instrument, keeping the front access clear from tubes.
The leak plane provides leak management by catching all internal liquid leaks, guiding them to the leak sensor for leak detection, and passing them on to the next module below, if the leak sensor fails. The leak sensor in the leak plane stops the running system as soon as the leak detection level is reached.
Solvent and condensate is guided through the waste channel into the waste container:
from the detector's flow cell outlet
from the Multisampler needle wash port
from the Sample Thermostat (condensate)
from the pump's Seal Wash Sensor (if applicable)
from the pump's Purge Valve or Multipurpose Valve
The waste tube connected to the leak plane outlet on each of the bottom instruments guides the solvent to a suitable waste container.
