Warning:
To avoid skeletal or muscle injury associated with lifting heavy objects,
enlist the appropriate number of people to lift an instrument or device. If necessary, use
lifting equipment that can raise it to the height of the laboratory bench.
Warning:
To avoid or minimize exposure to harmful solvent vapors, locate the device inside a
fume hood, walk-in chamber, or other method to provide adequate ventilation.
