2.3 Mechanical Moving Parts
CAUTION!
Pinch hazard! Hand surface injuries can occur when the Ethane container lift is
raised or lowered. Keep hands away below or above the Ethane container lift when it
is operating.
•
Always keep hands away from the hole below the climate chamber. A pinch hazard can
occur if the ethane container is missing on the ethane lift, tweezer is mounted and a
plunging cycle is performed.
•
During the regular use of the Vitrobot, mechanical parts will move. The chamber door
needs to be closed for the vertical metal rod to operate. The r od will be plunged at high
speed in the vertical downward direction. Until the metal rod is decelerated and completely
stopped in its most downward position, keep your hands away from the space right
underneath the Vitrobot chamber.
•
Vitrobot tweezers have a pointy, sharp tip; care must be taken to handle the tweezers with
care, as direct contact with the sharp tip will result in a skin puncture and cut. Handle the
Vitrobot tweezers as any other sharp object.
•
If there is any suspected malfunction of any of the mechanical moving parts, do not
attempt to fix it yourself. Always turn off the instrument and contact the Thermo Fisher
Scientific service to schedule an Thermo Fisher Scientific service engineer on -site visit.
