Site Requirements
A suitable environment is important to ensure optimum performance of the

Capillary LC system.
Power Consideration
The modules power supply has wide ranging capability (see Table 1 on page 4).
It accepts any line voltage in the range described in the above mentioned table.
Consequently there is no voltage selector in the rear of the modules. There are
also no externally accessible fuses, because automatic electronic fuses are
implemented in the power supply.
To disconnect the modules from line, unplug the power cord. The power supply still
WA RN ING
uses some power, even if the power switch on the front panel is turned off.
Shock hazard or damage of your instrumentation can result, if the devices are
WA RN ING
connected to a line voltage higher than specified.
Power Cords
Different power cords are offered as options with the modules. The female end
of each of the power cords is identical. It plugs into the power-input socket at
the rear of the instruments. The male end of each of the power cords is
different and designed to match the wall socket of a particular country or
region.
Never operate your instrumentation from a power outlet that has no ground
WA RN ING
connection. Never use a power cord other than the power cord designed for your
region.
Never use cables other than the ones supplied by Agilent Technologies to ensure
WA RN ING
proper functionality and compliance with safety or EMC regulations.
2 1100 Series Capillary LC System Manual

Installing your Capillary LC System 1
Bench Space
The modules dimensions and weight (see Table 2 on page 5) allow to place the
Capillary LC system on almost any laboratory bench. It needs an additional
2.5 cm (1.0 inches) of space on either side and approximately 8 cm
(3.1 inches) in the rear for the circulation of air and electric connections.
If a Thermostatted Well Plate Sampler is installed, an additional 25 cm
(10 inches) of space on either side for the circulation of air, and
approximately 8 cm (3.1 inches) at the rear for electrical connections is
required.
If a complete Agilent Capillary LC system is to be installed on the bench, make
sure that the bench is designed to carry the weight of all the modules. For a
complete system including the Thermostatted Well Plate Sampler it is
recommended to position the modules in two stacks. see “System Installation
Process" on page 6.
Environment
Your modules will work within specifications at ambient temperatures and
relative humidity as described in Table 1 on page 4.
ASTM drift tests require a temperature change below 2°C/hour (3.6 °F/hour)
over one hour period. Our published drift specification (refer also to
“Performance Specifications Agilent 1100 Series Capillary Pump" on
page 166) is based on these conditions. Larger ambient temperature changes
will result in larger drift.
Better drift performance depends on better control of the temperature
fluctuations. To realize the highest performance, minimize the frequency and
the amplitude of the temperature changes to below 1 °C/hour (1.8 °F/hour).
Turbulences around one minute or less can be ignored.
Do not store, ship or use your modules under conditions where temperature
CAU TI O N
fluctuations could cause condensation within the modules. Condensation will damage
the system electronics. If your modules were shipped in cold weather, leave them in
their boxes and allow them to warm slowly to room temperature to avoid
condensation.

Get the System Ready for the First Injection
When you are using the system for the first time after installation, best results
are obtained by performing the following 3-step system preparation, in the
order given below:
1 Manually priming the solvent channels.
2 Purging the pump.
3 Conditioning the system under method conditions.
When opening capillary or tube fittings, solvents may leak. Please observe
WA RN ING
appropriate safety precautions (such as eye protection, safety gloves, protective
clothing) as described in the material handling information and safety data sheet
supplied by the solvent vendor, especially when hazardous solvents are used.

Manually Priming the Solvent Channels.
NO TE This procedure should be done before the modules are turned on.
1 The degasser accessory kit contains a 20ml plastic syringe and a solvent
tube adapter for this syringe. Push the adapter onto the syringe.
2 Pour the intended analytical solvents into the solvent bottles, and install
the bottles on the desired solvent channels. Install Isopropanol on channels
which will not be used right away.
3 Put a paper towel over the leak sensor in the pump leak tray.
4 Disconnect the channel A solvent tube from the A1 port of the pump solvent
selection valve.
Liquid may drip from the disconnected solvent tube. Make sure to follow appropriate
WA RN ING
safety precautions.
5 Connect the end of the solvent tube to the syringe adapter. Slowly draw a
syringe volume (20ml) from the solvent tube.
6 Disconnect the solvent tube from the syringe adapter, and reconnect the
tube to the A1 port of the solvent selection valve. Eject the syringe contents
into an appropriate waste container.
7 Repeat steps 4 to 6 for the three remaining solvent channels.
8 When all 4 solvent channels are manually primed, remove the paper towel
from the pump leak tray. Make sure that the pump leak sensor is dry before
turning on the pump.

Purging the Pump

1 Make sure that the 1/8 inch plastic waste tube is tightly connected to the
barbed waste fitting of the pump EMPV, and routed to an appropriate waste
container.
2 Turn on the LC System. All system parameters should be set to default. The
degasser should also be turned on at this time.
3 Initialize the system. Then, access the pump controls and make sure the
pump mode is set to Normal.
4 Access the pump Purge control. Set up a purge table which will purge all
channels for 5 minutes each, at a flow of 2500 µl/min. Then, start the purge.
When the pump has been turned off for a certain time (for example, overnight), oxygen will re-diffuse into the channels between the degasser and the pump. It is suggested to purge each channel at 2500 ul/min for 1 minute at the beginning of each day.
NO TE When the pump has been turned off for a certain time (for example, overnight), oxygen will
re-diffuse into the channels between the degasser and the pump. It is suggested to purge
each channel at 2500 µl/min for 1 minute at the beginning of each day.

Conditioning the System Under Method Conditions

If you wish to condition the analytical column at this time, leave the column
installed in the TCC.
If you do not wish to condition the analytical column at this time, then remove
the column. In the TCC, connect the sampler-to-column capillary
(G1375-87304) directly to the DAD flow cell inlet capillary (G1315-68703).
This connection can be made with a ZDV fitting (0100-0900)
Enter your method conditions, and turn on the pump. Allow the system to
equilibrate under these conditions.

Hints for Successful Use of the Capillary Pump
Pump issues
• Flush the pump extensively. First with in the purge mode, second with a
pressure applied to remove all the gas bubbles. It is recommended to do this
first with 100% A and than 100%B.
• The system pressure must be higher than 20 Bar at the pump outlet.
• In micro mode abnormally high column flow variations are an indication of
dirt within the system, blocked filters or loose pump valves.
• Place solvent cabinet with the solvent bottles always on top (or at a higher
level) of the capillary pump.
• Prevent blocking of solvent inlet filters (never use the pump without solvent
inlet filter). Growth of algae should be avoided.
• When using buffer solutions, flush the system with water before switching
it off.
• Check the pump plungers for scratches when changing the piston seals.
Scratched plungers will lead to micro leaks and will decrease the lifetime of
the seal.
• After changing the plunger seals, perform the seal wear-in procedure. See
the pump reference manual.
• Place the aqueous solvent on channel A and the organic solvent on
channel B. The default compressibility and flow sensor calibration settings
are set so. Always use the correct calibration values.
• For generation of fast gradients on short columns remove the mixer, enter
the new pump configuration and select the fast gradient range for the
primary flow rate (chromatographic performance will not be affected).
• When running the micro mode check the correct instrument setup (flow
sensor type, used mixer and filter).
• Make sure to observe the minimum recommended flow setpoint:
• Normal mode100 µl/min
• Micro mode, 20 µl flow sensor: 1 µl/min
• Micro mode, 100 µl flow sensor:10 µl/min

Optimizing Performance 2
• To achieve the best flow stability, especially in the micro mode, %Ripple must
be within acceptable values, typically no worse than 2%.
Fused Silica Capillary issues

• When you connect a capillary (especially at the column) press it smoothly
into the fitting to avoid air gaps. Incorrect setting will result in dispersion
causing tailing or footing peaks.
NO TE Do not overtighten the fused silica capillaries. see Chapter 3, “Capillaries and Fittings,”
starting on page 45 for information on installing and handling capillaries.
• Be careful when you bend a Fused Silica Capillary. The diameter must not
be smaller than 40 mm.
40 mm
• When you replace a part, especially a capillary, clean it with Acetone.

• If a fused silica capillary leaks, do not retighten under flow. Set column
flow to zero, reinsert the capillary, tighten and set new column flow.
• Avoid the use of alkaline solutions (pH > 8.5) which can attack the fused
silica from the capillaries.
• Be careful not to crush capillaries when applying module doors.
• A broken capillary can release silica particles into the system (e.g. cell)
causing problems in the system down-stream of the break.
• A blocked capillary can often be unblocked by back-flushing the capillary.
Acetone is a recommended solvent for capillary back-flushing.

Sampler issues
• For fast gradient use valve to bypass function after the sample is transferred
to the column. This function results in smaller delay times and sharper
gradient curves.
• When doing automated gradient runs, use the fast composition
change/reconditioning function to equilibrate the system between runs.
Column thermostat issues

• Use the column brackets to put the column in contact with the heat
exchanger.
• Do not use the solvent pre-heating path (heat exchanger in the column
compartment) when you are working with capillary columns. The
dispersion will be too high.
DAD issues
• At very low flow rates, bubbles might form in the cell due to low pressure in
the cell. This might cause the detector signal to have spikes and noise.
Adding a 50 µm capillary to the outlet of the cell can reduce this effect.
• To avoid cell damage due to overpressure, set the upper pressure limit to
50 bar greater than the typical operating pressure.

Solvent Information
Always filter solvents through 0.4 µm filters, small particles can permanently
block the capillaries and valves. Avoid the use of the following steel-corrosive
solvents:
• Solutions of alkali halides and their respective acids (for example, lithium
iodide, potassium chloride, and so on).
• High concentrations of inorganic acids like sulfuric and nitric acid,
especially at higher temperatures (replace, if your chromatography method
allows, by phosphoric acid or phosphate buffer which are less corrosive
against stainless steel).
• Halogenated solvents or mixtures which form radicals and/or acids, for
example:
• 2CHCl3 + O2 → 2COCl2 + 2HCl
• This reaction, in which stainless steel probably acts as a catalyst, occurs
quickly with dried chloroform if the drying process removes the stabilizing
alcohol.
• Chromatographic grade ethers, which can contain peroxides (for example,
THF, dioxane, di-isopropylether) such ethers should be filtered through dry
aluminium oxide which adsorbs the peroxides.
• Solvents containing strong complexing agents (e.g. EDTA).
• Mixtures of carbon tetrachloride with 2-propanol or THF dissolve stainless
steel.

Prevent Blocking of Solvent Inlet Filters
Contaminated solvents or algae growth in the solvent bottle will reduce the
lifetime of the solvent filter and will influence the performance of the capillary
pump. This is especially true for aqueous solvents or phosphate buffers (pH 4
to 7). The following suggestions will prolong lifetime of the solvent filter and
will maintain the performance of the capillary pump.
• Use sterile, if possible amber, solvent bottles to slow down algae growth.
• Filter solvents through filters or membranes that remove algae.
• Exchange solvents every two days or refilter.
• If the application permits add 0.0001 to 0.001 Molar sodium acid to the
solvent.
• Place a layer of argon on top of your solvent.
• Avoid exposure of the solvent bottles to direct sunlight.
Checking the solvent inlet filters

R
When opening capillary or tube fittings solvents may leak out. Please observe
WA RN ING
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.
The solvent filters are located on the low-pressure side of the capillary pump.
A blocked filter therefore does not affect the pressure readings of the capillary
pump. The pressure readings cannot be used to check whether the filter is
blocked or not. If the solvent cabinet is placed on top of the capillary pump,
the filter condition can be checked in the following way:
Remove the solvent inlet tube from the inlet port of the solvent selection valve
or the adapter at the active inlet valve. If the filter is in good condition the
solvent will freely drip out of the solvent tube (due to hydrostatic pressure). If
the solvent filter is partly blocked only very little solvent will drip out of the
solvent tube.

Cleaning the Solvent Filters

• Remove the blocked solvent filter from the bottle-head assembly and place
it in a beaker with concentrated nitric acid (65%) for one hour.
• Thoroughly flush the filter with bidistilled water (remove all nitric acid,
some columns can be damaged by nitric acid).
• Replace the filter.
Never use the system without solvent filters. This could cause damage to the pump
CAU TI O N
valves

Hints for the Micro Vacuum Degasser
If you are using the vacuum degasser for the first time, if the vacuum degasser
was switched off for any length of time (for example, overnight), or if the
vacuum degasser lines are empty, you should prime the vacuum degasser
before running an analysis.
The vacuum degasser can be primed by pumping solvent with the capillary
pump at high flow rate (2.5 ml/min). Priming the degasser is recommended,
when:
• vacuum degasser is used for the first time, or vacuum chambers are empty.
• changing to solvent that are immiscible with the solvent currently in the
vacuum chambers.
• capillary pump was turned OFF for a length of time (for example during
night) and volatile solvent mixtures are used.
For more information see the Reference Manual for the Agilent 1100 series
micro vacuum degasser.

When to use Alternative Seals
The standard seals for the capillary pump can be used for most applications.
However that use normal phase solvents (for example hexane) are not suitable
for the standard seals and require a different seal when used for a longer time
in the capillary pump. In this case we recommend the use of polypropylene
seals, part number 0905-1420 (pack of 2). These seals have less abrasion
compared to the standard seals.
Polyethylene seals have a limited pressure range 0-200 bar. When used above 200 bar
CAU TI O N
their lifetime will be significantly reduced. DO NOT apply the seal wear in procedures
performed with the standard seals at 400 bar.

How to Choose the Primary Flow
Primary Flow is a parameter which exists only when the capillary pump is
used in the Micro mode. Primary flow is defined as the flow volume and
composition available at the inlet to the EMPV. Using this available primary
flow, the EMPV and flow sensor work together to deliver and control the
requested column flow. All primary flow in excess of the column flow is
delivered to waste via the 1/8 inch plastic waste tube connected to the EMPV
barbed waste fitting.
In every case, the pump automatically selects the best primary flow for the
requested column flow. This ensures optimum column flow stability under all
conditions. Primary flow selection is dependent on the current system
pressure, and on the existing pump configuration Therefore, it is important
that the pump configuration for filter volume and mixer volume is correct.
NO TE Primary flow always is much higher than column flow. This must be considered when
calculating the amount of solvent needed for unattended operation.
The user cannot request a specific primary flow value. However, one of three
available primary flow ranges can be selected by the user:
Default range (500-800 µl/min)

The default range is the best compromise between performance and solvent
savings.
Low Solvent Consumption range (200-500 µl/min)

Certain very long, shallow gradient analyses are possible in the low solvent
consumption range, but this range is best suited to isocratic analyses.
Selecting this range will result in minimum solvent consumption, but might
also result in poorer column flow performance.

Fast Gradients range (800-1300 µl/min)

In this range, the pump gradient delay time is as short as possible. This range
is specifically recommended for fast-gradient analyses (<3 min.). Solvent
consumption is highest in this range.
Table 5 gives approximate primary flow values (in µl/min) as a function of
selected primary flow range vs. system pressure:
Table 5 Primary flow overview for standard pump configuration
0 bar 100 bar 200 bar 300 bar 400 bar

System System System System System

Low consumption 200 225 250 275 300

range
Default range 500 570 640 710 780
Fast gradient range 800 995 1190 385 1580
Actual primary flow values may vary from system to system. In any case the
standard configuration is changed, the primary flow could be higher
compared to the values in above table.

Static Mixer and Filter
The capillary pump is equipped with a static mixer and an inline filter in front
of the EMPV.
The standard static mixer

The standard static mixer has a volume of typically 420 µl. To reduce the delay
volume of the capillary pump you can remove the mixer.
Conditions to remove the static mixer:
• The delay volume of the capillary pump should be reduced to a minimum
for fastest gradient response.
• The detector is used at medium or low sensitivity.
NO TE Removing the mixer will result in an increase of the composition wander and higher
detector noise.
The standard filter

The standard filter has a volume of typically 100 µl. If the application needs a
reduced volume (e.g. for fast gradient) the 20 µl low volume filter
(01090-68703) is recommended. Be aware that the filter efficiency and
capacity is significantly reduced compared to the standard one.
NO TE Never run the capillary pump without an inline filter.

How to Optimize the Compressibility Compensation Setting
The compressibility compensation default settings are 50 × 10-6 /bar (best for
most aqueous solutions) for pump head A and 115 × 10-6 /bar (to suit organic
solvents) for pump head B. The settings represent average values for aqueous
solvents (A side) and organic solvents (B side). Therefore it is always
recommended to use the aqueous solvent on the A side of the pump and the
organic solvent on the B side. Under normal conditions the default settings
reduce the pressure pulsation to values (below 1 % of system pressure) that
will be sufficient for most applications. If the compressibility values for the
solvents used differ from the default settings, it is recommended to change the
compressibility values accordingly. Compressibility settings can be optimized
by using the values for various solvents described in Table 6 on page 42. If the
solvent in use is not listed in the compressibility table, when using premixed
solvents and if the default settings are not sufficient for your application the
following procedure can be used to optimize the compressibility settings:
NO TE Use the capillary pump in the Normal Mode at least 100 µl/min.
1 Start channel A of the capillary pump with the adequate flow rate. The
system pressure must be between 50 and 250 bar
2 Before starting the optimization procedure, the flow must be stable. Use
degassed solvent only. Check the tightness of the system with the pressure
test.
3 Your capillary pump must be connected to an Agilent ChemStation or an
Agilent 1100 control module, the pressure and%-ripple can be monitored
with one of these instruments,
otherwise connect a signal cable between the pressure output of the
capillary pump and a recording device (for example, 339X integrator) and
set parameters.
Zero 50 %
Att 2^3
Chart Speed 10 cm/min
4 Start the recording device with the plot mode.

5 Starting with a compressibility setting of 10 × 10-6 /bar increase the value

in steps of 10. Re-zero the integrator as required. The compressibility
compensation setting that generates the smallest pressure ripple is the
optimum value for your solvent composition.
6 Repeat step 1 through step 5 for the B channel of your capillary pump.
Optimize your compressibility settings by using the values for various solvents
listed in the following table:

The Fast Composition Change/Reconditioning Function
Purpose
The capillary pump and the micro well-plate sampler are recommended for
capillary LC applications. Capillary LC methods have very low column flow
rates, typically in the range of 1-20 µl/min. At such low flow rates,
re-equilibrating the system to the initial mobile phase composition between
automated gradient runs may require a long time. To conveniently
re-equilibrate the system between automated gradient runs, the Fast
Composition Change/Reconditioning function is implemented.
The Fast Composition Change/Reconditioning function is available only in a
system that includes both a capillary pump and a micro well-plate sampler.
This function can be set up to occur automatically between runs, and/or to
occur automatically after any manual composition change.
NO TE The Fast Composition Change/Reconditioning function is available only when the

capillary pump is operated in the micro mode.
How the Function Works

Regardless of when it occurs, the Fast Composition Change/ Reconditioning
function is always a 2-step process:
1 The micro well-plate sampler needle is placed over the waste position of the
flushport. The pump delivers a high flow rate at the initial composition
defined in the current method. This flow is maintained for the Fast System
Flush time defined in the user interface. During this time, the system is
being re-equilibrated, up to the sampler needle outlet.
NOTE:
NO TE The high flow rate used for Fast System Flush is not user-defined. For the Fast System
Flush, the pump automatically sets a predetermined maximum pressure limit. This pressure
limit is determined by the hardware configuration of the pump.
The flow rate used for Fast System Flush is the highest flow which can be delivered
without exceeding the pressure limit.

2 When the Fast System Flush time has elapsed, the micro well-plate sampler
needle is returned to the needle-seat. The pump returns to the normal
operating mode, reconditioning the column at the flow and initial
composition defined in the current method. The column is reconditioned
for the Column Reconditioning time defined in the user interface.
If multiple injections are in progress, the next injection will begin when Fast
Composition Change/Reconditioning is completed.

Instructions to connect a capillary.
With Swagelock fitting (type A)

• Slide the nut, the compression ring and the ferrule onto the tubing.
• Insert into the receiving port and finger tighten the fitting into the port.
• Using a 1/4 inch wrench tighten the fitting 3/4 wrench turn.
With Rheodyne fitting (type C).

• Slide the fitting on the capillary.
• Insert into the receiving port, and finger tighten the fitting into the port.
• Using a 1/4 inch wrench tighten the fitting 1/4 wrench turn.
With Lite Touch fitting (type B or E)
NO TE The Lite Touch ferrule System may be used with any stainless steel nut, or corresponding
Lite Touch nut.
• Slide the nut, steel compression ring and PEEK ferrules, (in that order),
onto the tubing. The flattened end of the ring should face towards the nut
with the narrower end of the ferrule toward the ring.
• Insert into the receiving port. Hold the tubing to the bottom of the fitting
while tightening down the nut. Tighten comfortably finger-tight.
• Using a 4 mm wrench tighten the stainless steel nut down with a 1/4
wrench turn.
With finger tight fitting (type D).

• Slide fitting and ferrule onto the tubing.
• Insert it into the receiving port and finger tighten the nut until snug.

Hints for Successful use of Capillaries and Fittings
• Never overtighten a fitting.

• Never cut a capillary
• Take care when you bend a capillary (diameter never below 40 mm).
• When connecting, press the capillary smoothly into the fitting to avoid air
gaps.
• If a capillary leaks, never retighten it under flow.
• A blocked capillary can often be cleaned by flushing it back. Acetone is
recommended for this.
• Take care when applying module doors, not to crush capillaries.
• A broken capillary can release silica particles in the system.

Unstable column flow and/or system pressure
Symptoms:
In the micro mode, the pump flow control system is active. The flow control
system continuously measures the actual value of column flow, and maintains
the requested column flow despite changes in system restriction. If the flow
control becomes defective, actual column flow, hence system pressure, will
fluctuate. If the system offers a changing restriction to the pump, actual
column flow will fluctuate as the pump tries to maintain flow against the
changing restriction. Therefore, in the micro mode, unstable column flow and
unstable system pressure usually appear together.
Unstable column flow and/or system pressure: Possible Causes and Suggested Actions

Extended Flow Range Kit (G1376-69707)
The extended flow range kit described in Table 80 lets you adapt your
capillary pump to enable it to work with flows up to 100 µl/min. In order to
decrease the system pressure when you increase the flow until 100 µl/min
some capillaries must be changed. These capillaries, (8, 9, 10, 11, 13) are
shaded in Figure 39 on page 137.

the capillary G1375-87308.
NO TE To successfully install the capillaries and avoid the risk of a leak go to Chapter 3,
“Capillaries and Fittings.

Options 6
0.1 - 2.5 ml/min Flow Capillary Kit (5065-4495)
It is possible to use the capillary pump with a flow rate higher than
100 µl/min. For this the pump must be used in the normal mode and some
hardware modifications are necessary.
From 100 to 200 µl/min, bypassing the electronic flow control is needed. No
other hardware modifications are necessary.
From 200 to 2500 µl/min bypassing the electronic flow sensor, installing the
manual purge valve (supplied with the accessory kit), changing the UV
detector cell and changing the capillaries in the flow path is needed.
The 0.1 to 2.5 ml/min flow capillary kit (5065-4495) include all the capillaries
needed to work with a flow from 200 to 2500 µl/min.

back-flushing. The sample is injected into series-connected precolumn and
analytical column. After the valve has switched, the analytical column flow
continues in normal direction. Only the precolumn is back-flushed, eluting
highly retained peaks directly to the detector.

Do not use PEEK tubing with tetrahydrofuran (THF) or concentrated nitric acid (except
for short flushing procedures) and sulfuric acid.

Safety Information
The following general safety precautions must be observed during all phases of
operation, service, and repair of this instrument. Failure to comply with these
precautions or with specific warnings elsewhere in this manual violates safety
standards of design, manufacture, and intended use of the instrument. Agilent
Technologies assumes no liability for the customer’s failure to comply with
these requirements.

General
This is a Safety Class I instrument (provided with terminal for protective
earthing) and has been manufactured and tested according to international
safety standards.
Operation
Before applying power, comply with the installation section. Additionally the
following must be observed.
Do not remove instrument covers when operating. Before the instrument is
switched on, all protective earth terminals, extension cords,
auto-transformers, and devices connected to it must be connected to a
protective earth via a ground socket. Any interruption of the protective earth
grounding will cause a potential shock hazard that could result in serious
personal injury. Whenever it is likely that the protection has been impaired,
the instrument must be made inoperative and be secured against any intended
operation.
Make sure that only fuses with the required rated current and of the specified
type (normal blow, time delay, and so on) are used for replacement. The use of
repaired fuses and the short-circuiting of fuseholders must be avoided.
Any adjustment, maintenance, and repair of the opened instrument under voltage is
WA RN ING
forbidden.
Disconnect the instrument from the line and unplug the power cord before
WA RN ING
maintenance.
Do not operate the instrument in the presence of flammable gases or fumes.

Operation of any electrical instrument in such an environment constitutes a
definite safety hazard.
Do not install substitute parts or make any unauthorized modification to the
instrument.

Safety Information A
Capacitors inside the instrument may still be charged, even though the
instrument has been disconnected from its source of supply. Dangerous
voltages, capable of causing serious personal injury, are present in this
instrument. Use extreme caution when handling, testing and adjusting.
Safety Symbols
Table 93 shows safety symbols used on the instrument and in the manuals.

Safety Information A
Radio Interference
Never use cables other than the ones supplied by Agilent Technologies to
ensure proper functionality and compliance with safety or EMC regulations.
Test and Measurement

If test and measurement equipment is operated with equipment unscreened
cables and/or used for measurements on open set-ups, the user has to assure
that under operating conditions the radio interference limits are still met
within the premises.
Sound Emission
Manufacturer’s Declaration
This statement is provided to comply with the requirements of the German
Sound Emission Directive of 18 January 1991.
This product has a sound pressure emission (at the operator position) < 70 dB.
• Sound Pressure Lp < 70 dB (A)
• At Operator Position
• Normal Operation
• According to ISO 7779:1988/EN 27779/1991 (Type Test)
Solvent Information
Observe the following recommendations on the use of solvents.
Solvents
Brown glass ware can avoid growth of algae.
Always filter solvents, small particles can permanently block the capillaries.
Avoid the use of the following steel-corrosive solvents:
• Solutions of alkali halides and their respective acids (for example, lithium
iodide, potassium chloride, and so on).

• High concentrations of inorganic acids like nitric acid, sulfuric acid

especially at higher temperatures (replace, if your chromatography method
allows, by phosphoric acid or phosphate buffer which are less corrosive
against stainless steel).
• Halogenated solvents or mixtures which form radicals and/or acids, for
example:
2CHCl3 + O2 → 2COCl2 + 2HCl
This reaction, in which stainless steel probably acts as a catalyst, occurs
quickly with dried chloroform if the drying process removes the stabilizing
alcohol.
• Chromatographic grade ethers, which can contain peroxides (for example,
THF, dioxane, di-isopropylether) such ethers should be filtered through dry
aluminium oxide which adsorbs the peroxides.
• Solutions of organic acids (acetic acid, formic acid, and so on) in organic
solvents. For example, a 1-% solution of acetic acid in methanol will attack
steel.
• Solutions containing strong complexing agents (for example, EDTA,
ethylene diamine tetra-acetic acid).
• Mixtures of carbon tetrachloride with 2-propanol or THF.
• Avoid the use of alkaline solutions (pH > 8.5) which can attack the fuse
