Safety considerations

Some reagents and samples used with Waters instruments and devices can

pose chemical, biological, and radiological hazards. You must know the

potentially hazardous effects of all substances you work with. Always follow

Good Laboratory Practice, and consult your organization’s safety

representative for guidance.

When you develop methods, follow the “Protocol for the Adoption of Analytical

Methods in the Clinical Chemistry Laboratory,” American Journal of Medical

Technology, 44, 1, pages 30–37 (1978). This protocol addresses good operating

procedures and the techniques necessary to validate system and method

performance.

Considerations specific to the SYNAPT G2 MS system

Solvent leakage hazard

The source exhaust system is designed to be robust and leak-tight. Waters

recommends you perform a hazard analysis, assuming a maximum leak into

the laboratory atmosphere of 10% LC eluate.

Flammable solvents hazard

Never let the nitrogen supply pressure fall below 400 kPa (4 bar, 58 psi)

during analyses that require flammable solvents. Connect to the LC output

with a gas-fail connector to stop the LC solvent if the nitrogen supply fails.

Warning:

• To confirm the integrity of the source exhaust system, renew

the source O-rings at intervals not exceeding one year.

• To avoid chemical degradation of the source O-rings, which can

withstand exposure only to certain solvents (see “Solvents used

to prepare mobile phases” on page C-3), determine whether any

solvents you use that are not listed are chemically compatible

with the composition of the O-rings.

Warning: To prevent the ignition of accumulated solvent vapors inside

the source, maintain a continuous flow of nitrogen through the source

whenever significant amounts of flammable solvents are used during

instrument operation.

High temperature hazard

Mass spectrometer high temperature hazard

Warning: To avoid burn injuries, avoid touching the source enclosure

with your hand when operating or servicing the instrument.

Source ion block assembly

Hazards associated with removing an instrument from service

When you remove the instrument from use to repair or dispose of it, you must

decontaminate all of its vacuum areas. These are the areas in which you can

expect to encounter the highest levels of contamination:

• Source interior

• Waste tubing

• Exhaust system

• Rotary pump oil (where applicable)

The need to decontaminate other vacuum areas of the instrument depends on

the kinds of samples the instrument analyzed and their levels of

concentration. Do not dispose of the instrument or return it to Waters for

repair until the authority responsible for approving its removal from the

premises specifies the extent of decontamination required and the level of

residual contamination permissible. Management must also prescribe the

method of decontamination to be used and the appropriate protection for

personnel undertaking the decontamination process.

You must handle items such as syringes, fused silica lines, and borosilicate

tips used to carry sample into the source area in accordance with laboratory

procedures for contaminated vessels and sharps. To avoid contamination by

carcinogenic, toxic, or biohazardous substances, you must wear

chemical-resistant gloves when handling or disposing of used oil.

Safety advisories

Consult Appendix A for a comprehensive list of warning and caution

advisories.

Warning: To avoid personal contamination with

biohazardous or toxic materials, wear chemical-resistant

gloves during all phases of instrument decontamination.

Warning: To avoid puncture injuries, handle syringes, fused silica lines,

and borosilicate tips with care.

Operating this instrument

When operating this instrument, follow standard quality-control (QC)

procedures and the guidelines presented in this section.

Applicable symbols

Audience and purpose

This guide is for operators of varying levels of experience. It gives an overview

of the instrument, and explains how to prepare it, change its modes of

operation, and maintain it.

Intended use

Waters designed this instrument to be used as a research tool to deliver

authenticated, exact-mass measurement. It is not for use in diagnostic

procedures.

Symbol Definition

Confirms that a manufactured product complies

with all applicable European Community

directives

Australia C-Tick EMC Compliant

Confirms that a manufactured product complies

with all applicable United States and Canadian

safety requirements

This product has been tested to the requirements

of CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 61010-1, second edition,

including Amendment 1, or a later version of the

same standard incorporating the same level of

testing requirements

ABN 49 065 444 751

Calibrating

To calibrate LC systems, follow acceptable calibration methods using at least

five standards to generate a standard curve. The concentration range for

standards should include the entire range of QC samples, typical specimens,

and atypical specimens.

When calibrating mass spectrometers, consult the calibration section of the

operator’s guide for the instrument you are calibrating. In cases where an

overview and maintenance guide, not operator’s guide, accompanies the

instrument, consult the instrument’s online Help system for calibration

instructions.

Quality control

Routinely run three QC samples that represent subnormal, normal, and

above-normal levels of a compound. Ensure that QC sample results fall within

an acceptable range, and evaluate precision from day to day and run to run.

Data collected when QC samples are out of range might not be valid. Do not

report these data until you are certain that the instrument performs

satisfactorily.

ISM classification

ISM Classification: ISM Group 1 Class A

This classification has been assigned in accordance with CISPR 11 Industrial

Scientific and Medical (ISM) instruments requirements. Group 1 products

apply to intentionally generated and/or used conductively coupled

radio-frequency energy that is necessary for the internal functioning of the

equipment. Class A products are suitable for use in commercial, (that is,

nonresidential) locations and can be directly connected to a low voltage,

power-supply network.
