Analytical Methods:
Liquid chromatography (& NMR Practical/Demonstration)Safety Information
Paracetamol is classified as HARMFUL, IRRITATING to eyes, respiratory system and skin. Take care when handling and wear suitable protective clothing.
Methanol is flammable - Dispose of as directed
NMR - contains a strong magnetic field. Do not enter the room if you have a cardiac pacemaker or any ferromagnetic, electronic or mechanical device in your body. Serious injury may result. Magnetic fields may permanently damage watches, magnetic media and credit cards.
Cryogenic material (Liquid nitrogen) - is extremely cold; - do not touch dewar. Small amounts vaporise into nitrogen
Nitrogen- is an asphyxiant gas - if advised follow instructions to move to ventilated room.
In ALL laboratories you must:
Wear a fully fastened lab coat with sleeves down to wrists
Wear eye protection
Wash your hands when you leave
