8.3.1 Safety Instructions
WARNING
Automatically moving parts.
Injuries (crushing, piercing) possible if the safety panels are not in place or if the standard
front safety panel is installed. The standard front safety panel is partially open, allowing
access to the worktable and continuous load
•
Before starting the PyroTec™ PRO, make sure that the safety panel is closed.
•
Never operate the instrument with the safety panels open.
•
Do not reach into the instrument (specifically through the aperture beneath the yel-
low line on the instrument front side).
WARNING
Contamination risks through contamination of the worktable or frame. Hazardous liquids
or samples can be spilled onto the worktable, due to the failure of the liquid system or a
handling module, such as the RoMa.
•
Visually inspect all hardware components, e.g. the worktable, the RoMa, etc., for pos-
sible spillage of hazardous liquids.
•
Make sure that the containers are accurately positioned on the worktable.
Safe Worktable Layout
ATTENTION
Unsafe layout of the worktable can cause e.g.:
•
Loss or dropping of DiTi
•
Loss or dropping of microplates
•
Spillage of hazardous liquids because of collisions or too high filling level (more than
80%) of cavities
•
Spillage due to imprecise pipetting in 96-well microplates placed on the Te-Link
•
Cross-contamination because critical elements are placed near the wash station or
DiTi waste (splashes).
Before and during instrument use, check the worktable for the safety of its layout.
ATTENTION
To ensure a proper liquid flow, make sure that the tubing is not twisted or inhibited from
free flow.
