Certain samples require special care!
Certain types of samples may possibly represent a hazard to personnel or tangibles through:
Fire or explosion
• Flammable or explosive substances
• Substances containing solvent
• Substances which evolve flammable or explosive gases or vapors when dried.
When working with such samples, ensure a drying temperature which is low enough to prevent ignition or explosion and wear protective
goggles. If uncertainty exists regarding the flammability of a sample, always work with small amounts of sample (max. 1 gram).
In cases of doubt, conduct a careful risk analysis.
Poisoning, burning
• Substances which contain highly volatile toxic or corrosive components. Such substances may be dried only in a fume cupboard.
Corrosion
Substances which evolve corrosive vapors on warming (e.g. acids). For such substances we advise working with small amounts of sample as
the vapors can condense on colder housing parts and cause corrosion.
Please note that the user is always responsible and liable for damage caused by the use of the above-mentioned types of samples!
