Solvent Safety Precautions

Solvents used in the freeze dry system may be flammable or
hazardous to your health. Use extreme caution and keep
sources of ignition away from the solvents. When using

flammable or hazardous solvents, the vacuum pump must be
vented to a fume hood.

Hazardous materials such as strong acids or bases, radioactive

substances and volatile organics must be handled carefully and
promptly cleaned up if spilled. If a sample is spilled in the
collector chamber it must immediately be cleaned up per MSDS
procedures or damage to the equipment or injury may occur.

NOTE: Various Federal, State or local regulations may govern the disposal
of substances used in connection with this equipment. All users of this
equipment are urged to become familiar with any regulations that apply in the
user’s area concerning the dumping of waste materials in or upon water, land
or air and to comply with such regulations.
