NanoDrop Eight User Guide 151
It is recommended that all corrosive solvents be wiped from the pedestal
immediately upon completion of a measurement. It is also recommended that the
user end a series of measurements with a diH
2
O sample to ensure that solvents are
not inadvertently left on the pedestal.
The diaphragm around the pedestal of the NanoDrop Eight is permanently affixed to
the instrument. Do not attempt to remove the diaphragm or break the seal. Avoid
prolonged exposure of the diaphragm to HCl, alcohol, bleach, acetone or other
solvents as the adhesive securing the seal may be affected. If the seal comes loose
please contact us.
Biohazard or Radioactive Materials and Infectious Agents
Biological samples such as tissues, body fluids, infectious agents, and blood of
humans and other animals have the potential to transmit infectious diseases. Wear
appropriate protective equipment. Individuals should be trained according to
applicable regulatory and organization requirements before working with potentially
infectious materials. Follow your organization’s Biosafety Program protocols for
working with and/or handling potentially infectious materials.
Note
All forms of Hydrofluoric Acid (HF) are incompatible as the fluoride ion will
etch the fiber optic cable.
