CONDITIONS FOR USE
Intended Use
The EMS 5000 is intended for acquiring samples for: electrophysiology of fresh tissue,
immunocytochemistry and immunohistochemistry, histology, cytology, botanical research, and polymer
science.
Warnings
The EMS 5000 should not be disassembled beyond the indications of this manual. Any disassembly
beyond this may affect function and calibration. Do not use phenols or ketones to clean the tray, as it
will crack. Care should be taken when handling any blade. Do not contact the front edge of the blade.
The EMS5000 should not be placed in the vicinity of high sources of electromagnetic phenomena. If
repair is required please contact EMS at (215) 412-8400 for evaluation and to secure a return
authorization number if necessary.

Store at normal room temperatures between -34°C (-29°F) and 57°C (135°F). Do not expose to
temperatures below -39°C (-29°F) or greater than 70°C (158°F), or a relative humidity of less than 10%
or more than 100%, including condensation, or an atmospheric pressure less than 500hPa or greater
than 1060hPa for long-term storage.
Sterilization
Except for the pedestal and mounting blocks, the EMS 5000 components are not designed for
sterilization. (For questions on sterilization of the tray components, please contact the EMS Technical
Services department at (215-412-8400.) Any attempt to sterilize the non-tray components may result in
malfunction or component failure.
Handling
While a high degree of durability has been designed into the EMS 5000, care should be taken not to
drop the components. Do not force the tray on the platform, or the pedestal/vise in the tray. Place all
cables and leads where they will not be inadvertently pulled or tangled.
