Preface
This guide contains detailed information for preparing your site for installing a Thermo
Scientific™ TSQ 8000™ Evo triple-quadrupole mass spectrometer.
About Your System
Thermo Scientific systems provide the highest caliber gas chromatography/mass spectrometry
(GC/MS) instrumentation available on todays market.
GC/MS represents a combination of two powerful analytical techniques: GC, which acts as a
separation technique, and MS, which acts as a detection technique. Complex mixtures of
individual compounds can be injected into the GC, either manually or by an autosampler and
then separated for presentation to the MS. The MS will generate a mass spectrum of the GC
eluate and its components. The mass spectrum can then be used for qualitative identification
as well as accurate and precise quantification of the individual compounds present in the
sample.
A triple-quadrupole GC/MS/MS system provides the extra selectivity required for trace
analysis of compounds in complex matrices.

Hydrogen Safety Precautions
Thermo Scientific TSQ 8000 Evo Preinstallation Requirements Guide xvii
Hydrogen Safety Precautions
Hydrogen is a colorless, odorless, highly flammable gas with the molecular formula H2 and an
atomic weight of 1.00794, making it the lightest element. Hydrogen gas presents a hazard as
it is combustible over a wide range of concentrations: at ambient temperature and pressure,
this ranges from about 4% to 74.2% by volume.
Hydrogen has a flash point of - 423 °F (- 253 °C) and an auto-ignition temperature of
1,040 °F (560 °C). It has a very low ignition energy and the highest burning velocity of any
gas. If hydrogen is allowed to expand rapidly from high pressure, it can self-ignite. Hydrogen
burns with a flame that can be invisible in bright light.
Before you begin using hydrogen, you should conduct a risk assessment based on the quantity
of hydrogen to be used and the conditions of your laboratory. You should ask yourself:
“What hydrogen hazards associated with this project are most likely to occur?”
MATERIAL AND EYE HAZARD: Indicates that eye damage could or might
occur.
RADIOACTIVE HAZARD: Indicates that exposure to radioactive material could
or might occur.
READ MANUAL: Alerts you to carefully read your instrument’s
documentation to ensure your safety and the instrument’s operational ability.
Failing to carefully read the documentation could or might put you at risk for a
physical injury.
TOXIC SUBSTANCES HAZARD: Indicates that exposure to a toxic substance
could occur and that exposure could or might cause personal injury or death.
For the prevention of personal injury, this general warning symbol precedes
the WARNING safety alert word and meets the ISO 3864-2 standard . In the
vocabulary of ANSI Z535 signs, this symbol indicates a possible personal
injury hazard exists if the instrument is improperly used or if unsafe actions
occur. This symbol and another appropriate safety symbol alerts you to an
imminent or potential hazard that could cause personal injury.
WARNING FIRE HAZARD: The use of hydrogen as a carrier gas is dangerous. Hydrogen is
potentially explosive and must be used with extreme care. Any use of hydrogen gas must
be reviewed by appropriate health and safety staff and all installations of hydrogen systems
must be performed to applicable codes and standards. Thermo Fisher Scientific assumes
no liability for the improper use of hydrogen as a carrier gas.

Hydrogen Safety Precautions
xviii TSQ 8000 Evo Preinstallation Requirements Guide Thermo Scientific
“What hydrogen hazards associated with this project have the potential to result in the
worst consequences?”
Try to reduce or eliminate the higher risks by using the proper ventilation to remove
hydrogen gas before an ignitable concentration can accumulate. You should also consider
purging the hydrogen to further reduce hazards and ensure anyone who will be working
with hydrogen has basic hydrogen safety training.
As with laboratory safety in general, be sure to wear safety glasses, laboratory coats, gloves,
etc. Typically there are no specific requirements for gaseous hydrogen, other than eye
protection when working with a compressed gas. If working with liquid (cryogenic)
hydrogen, insulated gloves and protective shoes should be worn in addition to eye
protection.
You should post “No Smoking” and “No Open Flames” signs to identify hydrogen
sources and cylinders. Maintain, inspect and leak-test all hydrogen sources regularly.
All hydrogen shutoff valves should be clearly marked and permanent hydrogen piping
should be labeled as such at the supply or discharge point and at regular intervals along its
length. Where hydrogen gas piping passes through a wall, the piping should be labeled on
both sides of the wall.
There should also be contingency plans in place should an incident occur.
The site emergency response team, as well as the local fire department, should know the
location of all hydrogen storage tanks.

Using Hydrogen with TSQ 8000 Evo
To use hydrogen with the TSQ 8000 Evo, you must always shut off the GC carrier gas before
venting or turning off the TSQ 8000Evo. There are three hydrogen safety screws on the
TSQ 8000 Evo that must be in place. These are attached to your instrument at the factory.
Before powering on the TSQ 8000 Evo system, ensure that:
All the covers and panels of the TSQ 8000 Evo system are firmly attached.
The vent valve is tightly closed if you vented the system.
All fittings, ferrules, and o-rings are sealed.
Hydrogen Connection Guidelines
Use the following guidelines to safely connect hydrogen to your system:
PipingHydrogen must be delivered to equipment using appropriate piping and be
done in such a way as to pose essentially no hazard to end-users. Piping systems for the
delivery of hydrogen should be designed and installed by a person qualified by specific
training and experience with hydrogen piping systems.

Preface
Hydrogen Safety Precautions
xx TSQ 8000 Evo Preinstallation Requirements Guide Thermo Scientific
Stainless steel is usually recommended because it is a safe, cost-effective material. Piping
of black iron or copper must not be used, as the pipe can become brittle with age.
Elastomeric/plastic tubing of various plastics and polymers should not be used, unless the
tubing is approved for use with hydrogen. If elastomeric/plastic tubing is used for
hydrogen gas delivery, the tubing should be tested for hydrogen permeability to minimize
leakage.
The hydrogen piping system must be flexible enough to endure routine thermal
expansion and contraction. The system should also include considerations for the most
severe condition of temperature and pressure expected during service. Piping and
supports must be able to withstand static loading introduced by such things as ice and
snow; and dynamic loading from high wind and earthquake.
Caution should be used if burying hydrogen piping. Proper controls should be used to
protect against damage and corrosion, and also to prevent Hydrogen from entering a
building if there is any leakage.
FittingsAll fittings must be of the proper type approved or designed for use with
hydrogen gas. Use as few fittings as possible to minimize the potential for leaks. After
installation, ensure that leak testing is carried out prior to system use, and on a regular
basis.
There must be no PTFE tape or other things like plumber's putty used to enhance a seal, as
this actually is a detriment to a good seal. Ideally the best installation would use stainless
steel tubing with appropriate gas-tight fittings.
Welding is usually preferred for joints in hydrogen piping systems since welding provides
a better connection and reduces the potential for leaks compared to mechanical fittings.
Soft solder joints are not permitted for hydrogen systems (due to the low melting point of
soft solder and its potential for brittle failure at cryogenic temperatures). Brazed joints are
permitted, but such joints should be protected against the possibility of external fire.
Tubing connections should be clamped to barbed or press-fit type connections. Hose
clamps or jubilee clamps must not be used.
ValvesAll valves must be suitable for hydrogen service and for the specific operating
conditions. Valves, including regulators, must not be used for hydrogen, unless they are
designed and identified for such a use. Ball valves are often chosen because of their
superior leak tightness through the valve seat. Pneumatic operators are usually chosen for
remotely operated valves so that potential ignition sources (electricity) are remote from
the valve.
Manual shutoff valves should be provided near each point of use, within immediate reach.
If a hydrogen cylinder or hydrogen generation system is located within immediate reach,
a separate point-of-use shutoff valve is usually not necessary.
Line regulators that have their source away from the point of use should have a manual
shutoff valve near the point of use.
Preface
Hydrogen Safety Precautions
Thermo Scientific TSQ 8000 Evo Preinstallation Requirements Guide xxi
An emergency gas shutoff device in an accessible location outside the use area should be
provided in addition to the manual point-of-use valve in each educational and
instructional laboratory space that has a piped gas supply system.
If necessary, the piping system should have uninterruptible pressure relief. The pressure
relief system should be designed to provide a discharge rate sufficient to avoid further
pressure increase and should vent to a safe location outside or to a ventilation system
exhaust.
Purchasing Hydrogen
Use the following guidelines when purchasing hydrogen:
Hydrogen Generator—Because it minimizes the amount of hydrogen present and reduces
the degree of hazard, a hydrogen generator (also called an electrolyzer) is the safest way to
purchase hydrogen in the quantity used in GC/MS.
However, to minimize the degree of hazard, the hydrogen generator must only be
operated in a non-explosive environment because hydrogen buildup can be ignitable.
This means that your ventilation system for the room or lab hood must maintain an air
exchange rate that is at least two orders of magnitude greater than the maximum
hydrogen production rate of the hydrogen generator. Be sure to follow the manufacturers'
directions about proper use and maintenance of the regulator.
To prevent the possibility of releasing hydrogen, the hydrogen generator should be set to
shut down if:
There is a loss of flow to the ventilation system
A hydrogen detector alarms at 25% of the lower flammable limit of hydrogen in air.
The oxygen exhausted by the electrolyzer should be vented to the outside as well.
Hydrogen Cylinder—Hydrogen can be delivered in standard laboratory gas bottles or
cylinders. These cylinders have a limited amount of hydrogen in them and are a safe way
to transport and store hydrogen. However, compressed hydrogen gas cylinders, like all
compressed gas cylinders, must be secured in an upright position, ideally with a
non-combustible chain or cable. If the cylinder falls over, the valve can be knocked off
and the pressurized cylinder can take off like a rocket, which leads to the release of
hydrogen and possibly an explosion, severe injury, or death. Never crack a hydrogen
cylinder valve to remove dust or dirt from fittings prior to attaching a regulator, as there is
a risk of self-ignition.
Properly Storing Hydrogen
Storing and handling compressed hydrogen gas and cryogenic liquid hydrogen present
potential health and safety hazards. Using proper storage and handling techniques is essential
to maintaining a safe work environment.
Preface
Hydrogen Safety Precautions
xxii TSQ 8000 Evo Preinstallation Requirements Guide Thermo Scientific
Use the following guidelines when storing hydrogen:
Store spare hydrogen gas cylinders outside and away from doors, windows, building air
intake vents, structures, and vehicle routes. This precaution applies when the hydrogen is
or is not in use. Indoor storage of spare hydrogen cylinders has special requirements,
which is beyond the scope of this document. Documentation for each vessel should
include a description of the vessel, a list of available drawings or other documents, the
most recent inspection results, and the responsible person's name.
Prevent spare cylinders from toppling by wrapping them with chains. The chains should
also be protected against corrosion and excessive heat.
Separate spare hydrogen cylinders from oxidizing gases (such as oxygen) with a 5 ft
(1.5 m) tall fire barrier with a half-hour fire rating or place the cylinders at least 20 ft
(6 m) apart.
When moving hydrogen cylinders:
Remove the regulator and replace the cylinder valve cap before moving.
Move cylinders on cylinder carts or with other appropriate transport devices.
Never roll or drop a cylinder and never lift a cylinder by its protective cap.
Bulk hydrogen systems include either gaseous or liquid hydrogen in fixed installations; in
some gas systems a semi-permanent trailer (tube trailer) can be used. Storage vessels for
compressed hydrogen gas or liquid hydrogen should be designed, constructed, tested, and
maintained in accordance with applicable codes and standards. Bulk hydrogen systems
represent a level of complexity again which is beyond the scope of this document;
however some general guidelines are provided.
The bulk hydrogen storage system should not be located beneath electric power lines,
close to other flammable gases/liquids, or close to public areas. It should be readily
accessible to authorized personnel and delivery equipment, but protected from physical
damage or tampering.
As liquid hydrogen systems also have a cryogenic hazard, additional safety considerations
for the use of cryogenic liquids might be necessary.

1. The power quality supplied to your system is very important. It must be stable and within
the minimum specifications listed in this section.
Test the power source quality in your laboratory to offset line voltage problems.
Improving power source quality is a complex task best handled by a company or
consultant specializing in that field. Contact your regional Thermo Fisher Scientific
Customer Service office for assistance in locating a power consultant. Having a poor
quality power source degrades TSQ 8000 Evo system performance. Some examples of
poor power source quality are:
Harmonic distortion causes noise in the power supply lines and degrades
instrument performance. Harmonic distortion is a high-frequency disturbance
that may affect operation of your TSQ 8000 Evo MS. This disturbance appears
as distortion of the fundamental sine wave. Total harmonic distortion should be
less than 6%. For more information, refer to the EMC and Safety Standards.
However, the power specifications for the TSQ 8000 Evo system are more exact
than those of the IEC.
Slow changes are gradual, long-term changes in average root mean square (RMS)
voltage level, with typical durations greater than 2 s.
Sags and swells are slow changes in average root mean square (RMS) voltage
level, with typical durations between 50 ms and 2 s.
Transients, even of a few microseconds duration cause electronic devices to fail or
to degrade and significantly shorten their lives. Transients (or impulses) are brief
voltage excursions of up to several thousand volts with durations less than 50 ms.
Voltage variations must not exceed 10% of the nominal value.
Transient overvoltages must not exceed those specified in category II of IEC
60364-4-443.

humidity decreases linearly to 67% as the temperature climbs to 35 °C.
Use the following guidelines to ensure your site has the proper environmental conditions for
the system:
1. Ensure that your room temperature is 15–35 °C (59–95 °F). The analytical performance
is only confirmed for these temperatures. For best performance, the operating
temperature should be constant. Use Tab le 5 to calculate the amount of heat your system
will generate and ensure your air-conditioning system can handle that amount of heat.
2. Ensure that the relative humidity in your laboratory is between 5 and 95% with no
condensation. A temperature and humidity monitor in your laboratory helps ensure that
the climate is within these specifications.
IMPORTANT If you are not operating the TSQ 8000 Evo MS, it is safe to leave the
instrument powered on in a room with a temperature between 5 and 40 °C.

3. Ensure that the air in your site is free of excess particulate matter.
For reference, the air should contain fewer than 100,000 particles (larger than 5 μm) per
cubic meter. If the concentration is larger than this amount, dust can accumulate on
electronic components. This accumulation reduces their ability to cool off properly and
could cause them to overheat. If your environment is particularly dusty, we recommend
that you purchase the optional dust filter for your system.
4. Ensure that your site is free of electrostatic discharge (ESD), which may damage the
electronic components of your system. Ensure your static has been discharged before
touching internal components of the instrument. ESD can damage sensitive components,
resulting in premature failures.
Gas Equipment Requirements
Use the following guidelines to ensure you have the proper gas supplies ready in advance of
installation:
GC Carrier Gas
You will need a supply of ultra-high purity GC carrier gas. Typical cylinders are about
23 cm (9 in.) wide by 140 cm (55 in.) tall and output >15,000 kPa (>2200 psig). A single
full-size tank will last about three months with a typical usage rate of 50 mL/min. If you
have additional detectors or optional accessories, please refer to your GC or autosampler
manuals for information about gas requirements.
Note Thermo Fisher Scientific installation specifications require helium as a carrier gas
and argon as a collision gas. You must have one tank of each gas at installation, or the field
service engineer will not be able to run specifications on your TSQ 8000 Evo MS.

Gas Equipment Requirements
Thermo Scientific TSQ 8000 Evo Preinstallation Requirements Guide 13
Oxygen and moisture cannot be prevented from entering the system during cylinder
changes. To minimize the impact of these contaminants on the GC system, high purity
gas handling equipment should be used. To further protect the system from oxygen and
moisture, point-of-use purifiers should be installed in the carrier gas lines just prior to the
GC to remove any residual contaminants.
CI Gas
If your TSQ 8000 Evo system is equipped with the Chemical Ionization (CI) Reagent
Gas Flow module, make sure you have the proper gas for it. Typical flow rates are only
1-3 mL/min, so smaller tanks like lecture bottles can be used.
WARNING FIRE HAZARD: When using hydrogen, be aware that it can flow into the oven
and create a fire hazard. Turn off the supply until the GC column is in the inlet of the
TSQ 8000 Evo MS. Whenever you use hydrogen, it is critical to test all connections, lines,
and valves for leaks before using the instrument. When performing maintenance, be sure
to turn off the hydrogen supply.
Note Thermo Fisher Scientific installation specifications require methane as a CI gas. You
must have one tank of methane at installation, or the field service engineer will not be able
to run specifications on your TSQ 8000 Evo MS.

Collision Gas
You may use argon or nitrogen as collision gases for the TSQ 8000 Evo MS. Typical
cylinders are about 23 cm (9 in.) in diameter by 140 cm (55 in.) tall and output >15,000
kPa (>2200 psig). A cylinder should last about three years at a constant purge flow rate of
5.0 atm-mL/min. Tab le 8 provides the various collision gas specifications.
WARNING FIRE HAZARD: Some CI gases, such as methane and isobutane, are flammable.
Make sure these gases are properly exhausted and all gas fittings on the system are
leak-free. Consult your local Environmental and Safety Regulations for information about
how to properly exhaust fumes from your laboratory.
WARNING TOXIC SUBSTANCES HAZARD: Some CI gases, such as ammonia, are toxic.
Make sure these gases are properly exhausted and all gas fittings on the system are
leak-free. Consult your local Environmental and Safety Regulations for information about
how to properly exhaust fumes from your laboratory.
CAUTION INSTRUMENT DAMAGE: Do not exceed 240 kPa (35 psig) or you could
damage the CI reagent gas flow module.

Other Gas Specifications
If your TSQ 8000 Evo system will be equipped with a Direct Insertion Probe, make sure
you have compressed air, which is used to cool the probe.
If you have a TriPlus RSH autosampler with the SPME conditioning station or a
TriPlus 300 Headspace autosampler, you need to obtain a low-pressure, single-stage
regulator (0-30 psi) for nitrogen purging.
•Gas lines should be:
As short as possible and close to the TSQ 8000 Evo system.
Made of copper or stainless steel when using helium, hydrogen, methane or
isobutane.
Made of stainless steel when using ammonia or other corrosive gases.
Free of oil and moisture
Obtain the proper gas line filters, which help prevent impurities and contaminants from
entering your system. Water, oxygen, and total hydrocarbons should be less than 1 ppm
to avoid high background noise and prevent contamination. The GC is equipped with
two intake filters that trap moisture, oxygen, and hydrocarbons.
Store gas tanks and bottles properly so they will not damage cables or gas lines. Ensure
they are secured in accordance with standard safety practices.
CAUTION If your TRACE 1300/TRACE 1310 and PTV injector will be equipped with a
cryogenic cooling option, see the TRACE 1300 and TRACE 1310 Preinstallation
Requirements Guide for more information.

Using Hydrogen
To safely use hydrogen in your TSQ 8000 Evo system, you should have a hydrogen sensor
installed in your GC. Field Service Engineers can install a sensor. but they are not authorized
to install or repair any instrument using hydrogen as a carrier gas unless the instrument is
equipped with the appropriate sensor. The sensor must be calibrated occasionally, as described
in the sensor’s documentation.
Use the following safety precautions when using hydrogen:
Ensure that all hydrogen cylinders comply with the safety requirements for proper use
and storage. Hydrogen cylinders and delivery systems must comply with local regulations.
Make sure the gas supply is turned completely off when connecting hydrogen lines.
Ensure your GC has a Thermo Fisher Scientific hydrogen sensor installed. A hydrogen
sensor continuously monitors the hydrogen level in the oven.
Always turn off the GC and shut off the hydrogen at its source before venting the TSQ
8000 Evo MS.
If you use a hydrogen pump, ensure it has a palladium drier.
Remove as many sources of ignition as possible from your laboratory. Sources can include
open flames, electrostatic discharges, or devices that spark.
Do not open a cylinder of hydrogen without a regulator attached because it may
self-ignite.
Receiving Requirements
When you receive the TSQ 8000 Evo system:
1. Inspect the boxes for damage when the instrument arrives. Our instruments are shipped
by electronic equipment carriers who specialize in the handling of delicate equipment.
Occasionally, however, equipment is inadvertently damaged in transit. If you notice
evidence of external damage, do not refuse shipment. Instead, call Customer Service.
2. Once you are finished inspecting your shipment, move the cartons to a protected
location, preferably the installation site. Leave the boxes as complete as possible and do
not unpack or open the boxes without our Field Service Engineer (FSE) present. Doing
otherwise may void your warranty or order.

IF YOU PURCHASED THE TRACEFINDER 4.0 WITH MICROSOFT OFFICE
SOFTWARE PACKAGE THEN YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THIS COMBINED
END-USER LICENSE AGREEMENT (EULA) FOR THERMO FISHER SCIENTIFIC
TRACEFINDER 4.0 AND MICROSOFT OFFICE PROFESSSIONAL PLUS 2013
Thank you for choosing a software application that includes Microsoft Office 2013. This is a
license agreement between the licensor of the software application or suite of applications with
which you acquired the Microsoft software (“licensor”) and you. For your convenience, weve
organized this agreement into two parts. The first part includes introductory terms; the
Additional Terms follow and contain greater detail. You should review the entire agreement,
including any linked terms, because all of the terms are important and together create this
contract that applies to you. You can review linked terms by pasting the forward link into your
browser window. THE ADDITIONAL TERMS CONTAIN A BINDING ARBITRATION
CLAUSE AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER. IF YOU LIVE IN THE UNITED STATES,
THESE AFFECT YOUR RIGHTS TO RESOLVE A DISPUTE WITH THE LICENSOR
OR MICROSOFT, AND YOU SHOULD READ THEM CAREFULLY.
BY ACCEPTING THIS AGREEMENT OR USING THE SOFTWARE, YOU AGREE
TO ALL OF THESE TERMS AND CONSENT TO THE TRANSMISSION OF
CERTAIN INFORMATION DURING ACTIVATION AND FOR INTERNET-BASED
FEATURES OF THE SOFTWARE. IF YOU DO NOT ACCEPT AND COMPLY WITH
THESE TERMS, YOU MAY NOT USE THE SOFTWARE OR FEATURES. Instead, you
should return it to the place where you purchased the software license, for a refund or credit.
How can I use the software? We do not sell our software or your copy of it – we only license
it. Under our license we grant you the right to install and run that one copy on one computer
(the licensed computer) for use by one person at a time, but only if you comply with all the
terms of this agreement. Our software license is permanently assigned to the licensed
computer. Please refer to the Additional Terms for licenses and conditions that are specific to
certain countries, Limited Rights Versions and Special Editions of the software. The
components of the software are licensed as a single unit. You may not separate or virtualize the
components and install them on different computers. The software may include more than
one version, such as 32-bit and 64-bit, and you may install and use only one version at a time.
Except for the permitted use described under “Remote Access” below, this license is for direct
use of the software only through the input mechanisms of the licensed computer, such as a
Thermo Scientific TraceFinder 4.0 with Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013 Edition
Licenses: One (1) for Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013 Edition and two (2) for
Thermo Fisher Scientific TraceFinder 4.0.

keyboard, mouse, or touchscreen. It does not give permission for installation of the software
on a server or for use by or through other computers or devices connected to the server over
an internal or external network. The software also is not licensed for commercial hosting. For
more information on multiple user scenarios and virtualization, see the Additional Terms.
How do I obtain a backup copy? You may order or download a backup copy of the software
from microsoft.com/office/backup. You may not distribute the backup copy of the software.
You may use it only to reinstall the software on the licensed computer.
Can I transfer the software to another computer or user? You may not transfer the software
to another computer or user. You may transfer the software directly to a third party only, as
part of a transfer of the integrated software turnkey application or suite of applications (the
“Unified Solution”) delivered to you by or on behalf of the Licensor solely as part of the
Unified Solution, and as installed on the licensed computer, with the Certificate of
Authenticity label, if applicable, and this agreement. Before the transfer, that party must agree
that this agreement applies to the transfer and use of the software. You may not retain any
copies.
How does Internet activation work? Activation associates the use of the software with a
specific computer or device. During activation, the software will automatically contact
Microsoft or its affiliate to confirm the license is associated with the licensed computer. This
process is called “activation.” Because activation is meant to identify unauthorized changes to
the licensing or activation functions of the software, and to otherwise prevent unlicensed use
of the software, you have no right to use the software after the time permitted for
activation and you may not bypass or circumvent activation. If you have not entered a
product key during the time permitted for activation, most features of the software will stop
running.
Does the software collect my personal information? If you connect your computer to the
Internet, some features of the software may connect to Microsoft or service provider computer
systems to send or receive information. You may not always receive a separate notice when
they connect. If you choose to use any of these features, you agree to send or receive this
information when using that feature. Many of these features can be switched off or you can
choose not to use them.
How do we use your information? Microsoft uses the information it collects through the
software features to upgrade or fix the software and otherwise improve our products and
services. In certain circumstances, we also share it with others. For example, we share error
reports with relevant hardware and software vendors, so that they can use the information to
improve how their products run with Microsoft products. You agree that we may use and
disclose the information as described in our Privacy Statement at
r.office.microsoft.com/r/rlidOOPrivacyState15HighLight?clid=1033.
What does this agreement apply to? This agreement applies to the software, the media on
which you received the software, and also any Microsoft updates, supplements, and services
for the software, unless other terms come with them.

Thermo Scientific TSQ 8000 Evo Preinstallation Requirements Guide 29
Are there things I’m not allowed to do with the software? Yes. Because the software is
licensed, not sold, Microsoft reserves all rights (such as rights under intellectual property laws)
not expressly granted in this agreement. In particular, this license does not give you any right
to, and you may not: use or virtualize features of the software separately, publish, copy (other
than the permitted backup copy), rent, lease, or lend the software; transfer the software
(except as permitted by this agreement), attempt to circumvent technical protection measures
in the software, reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the software, except if the laws
where you live permit this even when our agreement does not. In that case, you may do only
what your law allows. When using Internet-based features, you may not use those features in
any way that could interfere with anyone elses use of them, or to try to gain access to any
service, data, account or network, in an unauthorized manner.
What about upgrading or converting the software? If you install the software covered by
this agreement as an upgrade or conversion to your existing software, then the upgrade or
conversion replaces the original software that you are upgrading or converting from. You do not
retain any rights to the original software after you have upgraded and you may not continue to
use it or transfer it in any way. This agreement governs your rights to use the upgrade software
and replaces the agreement for the software from which you upgraded.
ADDITIONAL TERMS
A. LICENSE RIGHTS AND MULTI USER SCENARIOS
1. Computer. In this agreement, “computer” means a hardware system (whether physical or
virtual) with a storage device capable of running the software. A hardware partition or
blade is considered to be a computer.
2. Multiple or Pooled Connections. You may not use hardware or software to multiplex or
pool connections, or otherwise allow multiple users or multiple computers or devices to
access or use the software indirectly through the licensed computer.
3. Use in a Virtualized Environment. If you use virtualization software, including client
hyper-v, to create one or more virtual computers on a single computer hardware system,
each virtual computer, and the physical computer, is considered a separate computer for
purposes of this agreement. This license allows you to install only one copy of the
software for use on one computer, whether that computer is physical or virtual. If you
want to use the software on more than one computer, you must obtain separate copies of
the software and a separate license for each copy. Content protected by digital rights
management technology or other full-volume disk drive encryption technology may be
less secure in a virtualized environment.
4. Remote access. The user that primarily uses the licensed computer is the “primary user.
The primary user may access and use the software installed on the licensed device
remotely from any other device, as long as the software installed on the licensed device is
not being used non-remotely by another user simultaneously. As an exception, you may
allow others to access the software simultaneously only to provide you with technical
support.
B. BINDING ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER
A End User License Agreements
End-User License Agreement–Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013 and TraceFinder 4.0
30 TSQ 8000 Evo Preinstallation Requirements Guide Thermo Scientific
1. Application. This Section B applies to any dispute EXCEPT IT DOES NOT INCLUDE
A DISPUTE RELATING TO THE ENFORCEMENT OR VALIDITY OF YOUR,
THE LICENSOR’S, OR EITHER OF OUR LICENSORS’ INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY RIGHTS. Dispute means any dispute, action, or other controversy between
you and the licensor, or you and Microsoft, concerning the software (including its price)
or this agreement, whether in contract, warranty, tort, statute, regulation, ordinance, or
any other legal or equitable basis. “Dispute” will be given the broadest possible meaning
allowable under law.
2. Notice of Dispute. In the event of a dispute, you or the licensor must give the other a
Notice of Dispute, which is a written statement of the name, address, and contact
information of the party giving it, the facts giving rise to the dispute, and the relief
requested. Send it by U.S. Mail to the licensor, ATTN: LEGAL DEPARTMENT. The
licensor will send any Notice of Dispute to your U.S. Mail address if available, or
otherwise to your e-mail address. You and the licensor will attempt to resolve any dispute
through informal negotiation within 60 days from the date the Notice of Dispute is sent.
After 60 days, you or the licensor may commence arbitration.
3. Small Claims Court. You may also litigate any dispute in small claims court in your
county of residence or the licensors principal place of business, if the dispute meets all
requirements to be heard in the small claims court. You may litigate in small claims court
whether or not you negotiated informally first.
4. BINDING ARBITRATION. IF YOU AND THE LICENSOR, OR MICROSOFT,
DO NOT RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE BY INFORMAL NEGOTIATION OR IN
SMALL CLAIMS COURT, ANY OTHER EFFORT TO RESOLVE THE DISPUTE
WILL BE CONDUCTED EXCLUSIVELY BY BINDING ARBITRATION. YOU
ARE GIVING UP THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE (OR PARTICIPATE IN AS A PARTY
OR CLASS MEMBER) ALL DISPUTES IN COURT BEFORE A JUDGE OR JURY.
Instead, all disputes will be resolved before a neutral arbitrator, whose decision will be
final except for a limited right of appeal under the Federal Arbitration Act. Any court
with jurisdiction over the parties may enforce the arbitrators award.
5. CLASS ACTION WAIVER. ANY PROCEEDINGS TO RESOLVE OR LITIGATE
ANY DISPUTE IN ANY FORUM WILL BE CONDUCTED SOLELY ON AN
INDIVIDUAL BASIS. NEITHER YOU, THE LICENSOR, NOR MICROSOFT,
WILL SEEK TO HAVE ANY DISPUTE HEARD AS A CLASS ACTION, AS A
PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, OR IN ANY OTHER PROCEEDING
IN WHICH ANY PARTY ACTS OR PROPOSES TO ACT IN A REPRESENTATIVE
CAPACITY. NO ARBITRATION OR PROCEEDING WILL BE COMBINED
WITH ANOTHER WITHOUT THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF ALL
PARTIES TO ALL AFFECTED ARBITRATIONS OR PROCEEDINGS.
6. Arbitration Procedure. Any arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration
Association (the “AAA”) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules. If you are an individual
and use the software for personal or household use, or if the value of the dispute is
$75,000 or less whether or not you are an individual or how you use the software, the
AAA Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes will also apply. To
A End User License Agreements
End-User License Agreement–Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013 and TraceFinder 4.0
Thermo Scientific TSQ 8000 Evo Preinstallation Requirements Guide 31
commence arbitration, submit a Commercial Arbitration Rules Demand for Arbitration
form to the AAA. You may request a telephonic or in-person hearing by following the
AAA rules. In a dispute involving $10,000 or less, any hearing will be telephonic unless
the arbitrator finds good cause to hold an in-person hearing instead. For more
information, see adr.org or call 1-800-778-7879. You agree to commence arbitration only
in your county of residence or in the licensors principal place of business. The licensor
agrees to commence arbitration only in your county of residence. The arbitrator may
award the same damages to you individually as a court could. The arbitrator may award
declaratory or injunctive relief only to you individually, and only to the extent required to
satisfy your individual claim.
7. Arbitration Fees and Incentives.
a. Disputes Involving $75,000 or Less. The licensor will promptly reimburse your filing
fees and pay the AAAs and arbitrator’s fees and expenses. If you reject the licensor’s
last written settlement offer made before the arbitrator was appointed (“last written
offer”), your dispute goes all the way to an arbitrators decision (called an “award”),
and the arbitrator awards you more than the last written offer, the licensor will give
you three incentives: (1) pay the greater of the award or $1,000; (2) pay twice your
reasonable attorneys fees, if any; and (3) reimburse any expenses (including expert
witness fees and costs) that your attorney reasonably accrues for investigating,
preparing, and pursuing your claim in arbitration. The arbitrator will determine the
amounts.
b. Disputes Involving More Than $75,000. The AAA rules will govern payment of
filing fees and the AAAs and arbitrators fees and expenses.
c. Disputes Involving Any Amount. In any arbitration you commence, the licensor will
seek its AAA or arbitrators fees and expenses, or your filing fees it reimbursed, only if
the arbitrator finds the arbitration frivolous or brought for an improper purpose. In
any arbitration the licensor commences, it will pay all filing, AAA, and arbitrators
fees and expenses. It will not seek its attorneys fees or expenses from you in any
arbitration. Fees and expenses are not counted in determining how much a dispute
involves.
8. Claims or Disputes Must be Filed Within One Year. To the extent permitted by law, any
claim or dispute under this agreement to which Section B applies must be filed within
one year in small claims court (Section B.3) or in arbitration (Section B.4). The one-year
period begins when the claim or dispute first could be filed. If such a claim or dispute is
not filed within one year, it is permanently barred.
9. Severability. If the class action waiver in Section B.5 is found to be illegal or
unenforceable as to all or some parts of a dispute, then Section B (arbitration) will not
apply to those parts. Instead, those parts will be severed and proceed in a court of law,
with the remaining parts proceeding in arbitration. If any other provision of Section B is
found to be illegal or unenforceable, that provision will be severed with the remainder of
Section B remaining in full force and effect.
10. Third-Party Beneficiary. Microsoft Corporation is not a party to this agreement but is a
third-party beneficiary of your and the licensor’s agreement to resolve disputes through
A End User License Agreements
End-User License Agreement–Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013 and TraceFinder 4.0
32 TSQ 8000 Evo Preinstallation Requirements Guide Thermo Scientific
informal negotiation and arbitration. If your dispute is with Microsoft, Microsoft agrees
to do everything the licensor agrees to do in Section B, and you agree to do everything
regarding Microsoft that Section B requires you to do regarding the licensor. Mail a
Notice of Dispute with Microsoft to Microsoft Corporation, ATTN: LCA
ARBITRATION, One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052-6399. You may commence
an arbitration or small claims court case against Microsoft in your county of residence or
King County, Washington.
C. CHOICE OF LAW
The laws of the state or country where you live govern all claims and disputes under this
agreement, including breach of contact claims and claims under state consumer protection
laws, unfair competition laws, implied warranty laws, for unjust enrichment, and in tort. If
you acquired the software in any other country, the laws of that country apply. This
agreement describes certain legal rights. You may have other rights, including consumer
rights, under the laws of your state or country. You may also have rights with respect to the
party from whom you acquired the software. This agreement does not change those other
rights if the laws of your state or country do not permit it to do so.
D. ACTIVATION
1. More on How Activation Works. During activation, the software will send information
about the software and your computer to Microsoft. This information includes the

telephone service charges may apply.
2. Re-activation. Some changes to your computer components or the software may require
re-activation of the software.
3. Activation Failure. During online activation, if the licensing or activation functions of the
software are found to be counterfeit or improperly licensed, activation will fail. The
software will notify you if the installed copy of the software is improperly licensed. In
addition, you will receive reminders to obtain a properly licensed copy of the software.
4. Updates and Upgrades. You may only obtain updates or upgrades for the software from
Microsoft or authorized sources. Certain upgrades, support, and other services may be
offered only to users of genuine Microsoft software. To identify genuine Microsoft

and "Thermo Fisher Scientific" means Thermo Finnigan LLC, the licensor of the
TraceFinder version 4.0 software that is the subject of this Agreement (“Software”). The
"Customer" is the person or organization that orders, uses and pays the applicable license
fee, if any, for the Software.
