7.3 Dealing with Spills
Wipe up any spills immediately. If any material spills in the instrument, wipe up the material using
a cloth dampened with 70% ethanol. Note that the reagents contain hazardous materials;
therefore dispose of the cleaning materials according to your institutional guidelines. Wipe well
once visible material is removed. In case of spills in the instrument where there is a potential
biohazard, wipe up the spill with paper towels and wash the spill area with a detergent solution
such as Steris LpH
®
following the manufacturer’s instructions. Dispose of towels used according
to your institutional guidelines for biohazardous waste.
Important.
Bleach reacts
with guanidine
thiocyanate, which
may be used in

cartridges, and

to any sample waste
containing lysis
solutions. Bleach
should not be used
to clean reagent
spills.
