Agilent Technologies Magnis G9710A User Manual page 13

• Before disconnecting the power cord, turn off the instrument at both the power button on the
front and the power switch on the back.
• Unplug the instrument before you clean any major liquid spills and before servicing any of the
electrical or internal components.
• Do not operate the instrument in a hazardous or potentially explosive environment.
• Do not service the electrical components unless you are qualified to do so.
Fluids and Reagents
• Never process reagents not intended for use with the Magnis/MagnisDx NGS Prep System.
• Observe the relevant safety regulations when handling pathogenic material, radioactive
substances or other substances hazardous to health.
• Do not submerge the instrument in any liquid.
Danger of Ultraviolet (UV) Light Exposure
The instrument door and side panels are not UV-transparent, therefore exposure to UV light is
minimal. However, the following precautions are still needed.
• During decontamination of the instrument deck with UV light, do not look directly or indirectly
at the UV light source.
• Always perform decontamination with the instrument door closed and locked. The instrument
door is programmed to remain locked while the UV light is on.
• Replacement UV tubes must be provided by Agilent and must be installed by an Agilent
engineer or Agilent authorized service provider.
Danger of Burns
• During protocol runs, the thermal block and other components of the thermal cycler module
quickly attain temperatures of greater than 50°C. To ensure safe operation, the instrument
door must remain closed during runs. The instrument door is programmed to remain locked
while protocol runs are in progress.
• Use only Agilent materials (plates, adhesive seals, foils, mats) intended for use on the
Magnis/MagnisDx NGS Prep System. These materials are sufficiently temperature-stable (up
to 120°C).
