IV. Precautions on waste liquid
This instrument uses a kit containing a solution comprised of a large amount of chlorine compound. Nucleic
acids extracted through the instrument and kits are conservative and may affect the performance if residues are
present. Please refer to the following for proper prevention of hazards.
1.
Precautions immediately after using the Instrument
1)
Waste liquid from the cartridges may overflow and contaminate the instrument if the tray is handled
abruptly resulting in false positive from the next experiment.
2)
Waste liquid contains a large amount of chlorine ions that corrodes metals as stainless steels which
causes the instrument corrosion.
3)
If the waste liquid contaminates inside the instrument due to mishandling of the cartridges, the
instrument must be disassembled and to wash clean. Please contact us.
2.
Cleaning solution used for inside and outside of the Instrument
1)
Use distilled water (DW), 70% ethanol, nucleic acid decomposition solution (5% Nitric acid, 1% lox,
DNAzap). Be careful for lox and DNAzap corrode metal. Moisten lint free cloth or paper towel, not
soaking wet to drip for it may drop on the instrument. Do not spray the liquid on the instrument.
3.
Contamination of Instrument
If the instrument is contaminated, proper measures must be taken immediately to prevent accumulation
and damage.
1)
If contamination occurs inside the instrument but did not yet make it into the inside, absorb it
immediately with a paper towel moisten with nucleic acid decomposition liquid and rinse with a paper
towel moisten with DW again. Absorb the remaining solution with a dry paper towel and operate UV
lamp to remove the contaminants from the instrument.
2)
If contaminants enter inside the instrument, the instrument must be disassembled to wash. Please
contact us.
4.
Waste Treatment
1)
Waste liquid and consumables used must be disposed of properly according to the waste disposal
regulations.
2)
Wear appropriate eyewear, clothing, and gloves when handling reagent and waste liquid.
