Safety Precautions
• Install the instrument in a location where the power cord can be easily reached for quick
disconnection of the power supply.
• Install the instrument away from any flammable sources.
• Make sure that the ventilation slots of the instrument are free to vent at all times. Maintain
• 10 cm of cleared space on each side of the instrument and 18 cm of cleared space at the back
of the instrument.
• Connect the power cord to a wall output that provides 100–240 VAC, 1000 W.
• Make sure that proper voltage is supplied before turning on the instrument for the first time.
• Connect the instrument to a grounded socket. Do not operate the instrument from a power
outlet that has no ground connection.
• Do not connect the instrument to the same circuit as other devices with a high current draw
(e.g., freezers, centrifuges). If possible, connect the instrument to an independent or dedicated
AC circuit.
• Do not touch any switches or outlets with wet hands.
• 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
• Never process reagents not intended for use with the Magnis NGS Prep System.
Reagents
• 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
Although exposure to UV light is minimal, the following precautions are still needed.
Ultraviolet (UV)
• During decontamination of the instrument deck with UV light, do not look directly or indirectly
Light Exposure
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. Keep the instrument door 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
NGS Prep System. These materials are sufficiently temperature-stable (up to 120°C).
