and to specify the corresponding restrictions before use.
1. Every user must read and understand this operating manual before
operation.

wear protective clothing, eye protection, and protective gloves).
When working with infectious or hazardous samples, the standard
laboratory rules and precautions must be adhered to.
3. Observe all specifications provided by reagent manufacturers.
4. Use the instrument only for dispensing liquids within the defined
limitations and restrictions of use. Comply with the operating exclu-
sions; see Exclusions of use, p. 33 . If in doubt, contact the manu-
facturer or supplier.

other people. Avoid splashes. Only use suitable vessels.
