Warnings and Cautions

WARNING

Ejection of mobile phase

When using sample loops larger than 100 µL, mobile phase may be ejected from the needle port as the mobile phase in the sample loop decompresses.

• Please observe appropriate safety procedures (for example, goggles, safety gloves and protective clothing) as described in the material handling and safety data sheet supplied by the solvent vendor, especially when toxic or hazardous solvents are used.

WARNING

Splashing of solvent

• When using the Needle Port Cleaner, empty the syringe slowly to prevent solvent from splashing back at you.
• Please observe appropriate safety procedures (for example, goggles, safety gloves and protective clothing) as described in the material handling and safety data sheet supplied by the solvent vendor, especially when toxic or hazardous solvents are used.

CAUTION

Potential damage to the valve

• Rinse the valve with water after using buffer solutions to prevent crystals from forming, which can cause scratches on the rotor seal.
