Safety instructions
Biometra TOne
8
Version 01.21
The use of oil between the samples and the sample block is not necessary to achieve
an improved heat exchange. However, if you still want to use oil, you should use
mineral oil. Do not use silicone oil.
Be careful to avoid crushing or pinching injuries when closing the device.
Biometra TOne may cause burns. The following has to be observed:
The thermal block, the samples, and the heated lid reach high temperatures. There is
a risk of burns during contact.
Ensure that the lid is securely closed before starting the program! Do not touch the
heated lid!
The rapid heating of the thermal block can cause liquids to boil explosively. Always
wear safety goggles during operation!
Do not touch hot sample tubes or plates and do not open them or boiling liquid may
escape!
Only use plates and tubes that are suitable for high temperatures (up to 100 °C), fit
well into the thermal block (no wobbling), and whose lids seal tightly!
Modifications and extensions to the device may only be carried out after consultation
with Analytik Jena. Unauthorized changes can limit the operating safety and lead to
restrictions in warranty and access to customer service.
