Safety

Before operation, ensure that all potential users have received:
•  Instruction in general safety practices for laboratories.
•  Instruction in specific safety practices for the instrument.
•  All related Safety Data Sheet (SDS) documents.

Precautions are illustrated in the following way: 

Symbols

Description

The general Warning symbol indicates the possibility of 

damaging the instrument or compromising the results of 

a method.

The Electrical Hazard symbol indicates the presence of 

electrical components that can be harmful to the operator 

if handled incorrectly.

The Mechanical Hazard symbol indicates the presence 

of moving mechanical parts that can be harmful to the 

operator if handled incorrectly.

The Hazardous Materials symbol indicates the presence 

of materials that are toxic or otherwise harmful to the 

operator if handled incorrectly.

The Biohazard symbol indicates the presence of biological 

samples that can be harmful to the operator if handled 

incorrectly.

Ensure ground is reliably connected

 before plugging the instrument’s 

power cord into the power source (receptacle). 

Grounding is required to prevent 

electric shock. If the power source is not grounded, qualified personnel must first install a 
reliable safety ground. 

Warning

: The tray door is capable of moving an object that is in its 

opening path. If near the edge of the workspace, the object could fall and 

create a hazard.

Pinch risk: 

Ensure no obstructions or fingers present near closing tray.

Warning

: Avoid using the Chromium X/iX in a manner not specified 

by 10x Genomics. 

The Chromium X/iX has been designed to protect the user. If used 

improperly, the intended user protections can be impaired.

Heavy Load

: 41.4 lb (18.8 kg). Two-person lift required.
