Safety Against Risk of Fire
Certain electrical circuits within this equipment are protected by fuses against
over-current conditions. For continued protection against risk of fire, replace fuses
only with the same type and rating specified.
Chemical and Biological Safety
Normal operation of this equipment sometimes involves the use of reagents which are
toxic, flammable, or biologically harmful. When using such reagents, observe the
following precautions:
•
Infectious samples must be handled according to good laboratory procedures and
methods to prevent the spread of disease
•
Observe all cautionary information printed on the original solution containers prior
to their use
•
All waste solutions must be disposed of according to your facility's waste disposal
procedures
•
Liquid transfers may generate aerosols.
Operate the Biomek in an
appropriate enclosure and take all necessary precautions when using
biohazardous, pathologic, toxic, or radioactive materials
•
Objects dropped onto plates, accidental tool release, or other accidental collisions
may result in splashing of liquids; therefore take appropriate safety precautions,
such as the use of safety glasses when working with potentially hazardous liquids
•
Use an appropriate containment environment when using hazardous materials
•
Observe the appropriate cautionary procedures as defined by your safety officer
when using flammable solvents in or near a powered-up instrument
•
Make sure that the vacuum is attached prior to any method that contains any wash
or aspirate functions
Moving Parts
The bridge and head assembly may suddenly move. To avoid injury due to moving
parts, you must observe the following:
•
Never attempt to exchange labware, reagents, or tools while the instrument is
operating, as indicated by the amber safety light at the end of the bridge. When the
light is on, the workstation is in operation and may move suddenly and rapidly at
any moment. A beep sounds just prior to initial movement to provide additional
warning
•
Never attempt to physically restrict the movement of the head and bridge
assembly. Use the Stop switch at the base of the workstation if an emergency stop
is required. Pressing this switch will freeze the workstation (but not the Side
Loader). Click on the Stop button on the Run window to stop the instrument if the
stop is not an emergency
