Handling of samples, auxiliary and operating materials
The operator is responsible for the selection of substances used in the process as well as
for their safe handling. This is particularly important for radioactive, pathogenic, infec-
tious, poisonous, corrosive, or otherwise hazardous substances. For details contact the
safety officer responsible for your location. When handling hazardous substances local
safety codes and guidelines must be observed. The following general notes do not re-
place the specific local regulations or the regulations in the safety data sheets of the
manufacturers for the auxiliary and operating materials.
The following has to be observed:
Protective goggles and rubber gloves have to be worn when handing reagents.
If only a few samples are to be treated, two (empty) tubes of the same height must
additionally be placed in the corner positions of the block. If the number of samples
in the block is too low, there is a risk of the tubes being damaged and sample liquid
leaking out.
For your own safety, please consider the potential risk of infection of the examined
biological material.
