Chapter 5: As-Needed Maintenance
Purpose
Any laboratory instrument that has been used for research or clinical analysis is
considered a biohazard and requires decontamination prior to handling.
Decontamination minimizes the risk to all who come into contact with the instrument
during shipping, handling, and servicing. Decontamination is required by the U.S.
Department of Transportation regulations.
Persons performing the decontamination process must be familiar with the basic setup
and operation of the instrument.

BioTek Instruments, Inc. recommends the use of the following
decontamination solutions and methods based on our
knowledge of the instrument and recommendations of the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Neither
BioTek nor the CDC assumes any liability for the adequacy of
these solutions and methods. Each laboratory must ensure
that decontamination procedures are adequate for the
Biohazard(s) they handle.
Wear prophylactic gloves when handling contaminated
instruments. Gloved hands should be considered
contaminated at all times; keep gloved hands away from eyes,
mouth, and nose. Eating and drinking while decontaminating
instruments is not advised.
Mucous membranes are considered prime entry routes for
infectious agents. Wear eye protection and a surgical mask
when there is a possibility of aerosol contamination. Intact
skin is generally considered an effective barrier against
infectious organisms; however, small abrasions and cuts may
not always be visible. Wear protective gloves when
performing the decontamination procedure.
