Operating the Prep Station

Prior to Initiating a Run

Waste Removal

Prior to starting a new run, ensure that the waste containers have been emptied. Empty waste

containers are required for every run.

Remove the combined waste receptacle by lifting it straight up and out of the Prep Station.

Remove the liquid waste container from the combined receptacle by using the latch on the front

and dispose of the liquid appropriately.

Verify that the plastic rack holding the used piercers, tip sheaths, prep plates, and strip tubes

from the previous run have all been removed from the deck.

CAUTION:

If waste containers are not emptied, tips could come into contact with waste

liquids and contaminate samples, or excess tips could pile up and cause a system

malfunction.

AVERTISSEMENT:

Si les récipients à déchets ne sont pas vidés, les embouts peuvent entrer

en contact avec des déchets liquides et contaminer les échantillons, ou un trop grand

nombre d’embouts pourrait s’accumuler et entraîner un dysfonctionnement du système en

matière du sécurité.

CAUTION:

Used plastic ware, such as reagents, cartridges, and pipetting tips, must be

collected and disposed of properly in accordance with local safety regulations and

laboratory procedures.

AVERTISSEMENT:

Les récipients en plastique usagés, tels que les plaques de réactifs, les

cartouches et les embouts de pipetage, doivent être collectés et mis au rebut correctement

selon les procédures du laboratoire et les règlementations locales en matière du sécurité.

CAUTION:

Do not dispose of biohazardous samples in the sink or other drain. Dispose of

all samples in accordance with local safety regulations and laboratory procedures.

AVERTISSEMENT:

Ne pas verser les échantillons à risque biologique dans l’évier ou

autres canalisations sanitaires. Jeter tous les échantillons selon les lois locales de sécurité

et les règles de laboratoire.
