The same precautions applicable when using any electrical equipment
should be observed with this instrument. Do not touch switches or
electrical outlets with wet hands. Switch the instrument off before
disconnecting it from the mains supply.
The dispensing valve head is a free-moving mechanical device
controlled by the instrument and not directly by the operator. It is
designed for "hands-off" operation and should be used as such. Never
reach into the work space, while the instrument is performing a
dispensing cycle. If it is necessary to stop the operation of the
equipment, press the
Infectious samples and corrosive fluids are commonly used with this
equipment. The "hands-off" nature of the system allows the user to
dispense into the reaction wells without getting into direct contact with
these fluids. However, the wells that have been in contact with
potentially hazardous fluids must be handled with utmost care. Always
wear hand and eye protections as well as corrosive resistant laboratory
coats.
Warning Observe normal laboratory procedures for handling
potentially hazardous samples.
Whenever it is likely that the protection against safety hazards has been
impaired, make the instrument inoperative and secure against any
unintended operation.
The protection is likely to be impaired if, for example, the instrument:
