Caution: Hot surface. The inside of the incubation chambers can be heated to 70°C depending on the temperature
selection. Check the temperature from the display before touching the inside of the incubation chambers. Be aware
that the plate holder and the plate itself have the same temperature as the chamber they are located in.
Caution: Hot liquids. The temperature of the liquids inside the instrument can reach 70°C. Mishandling the plate can
cause the liquid in it to spill or splash. The spilled liquid may cause scalds or burns if the liquid comes into contact
with skin.
Chemical and biological hazards
Warning: Biohazard warning. The plates may contain biohazardous or chemically contaminated materials.
Warning: The plates are not fastened to the plate holder. Use caution when moving plates in their plate holders,
especially if they contain biohazardous material.
Caution: Liquid can vaporize when heated. You are responsible for checking with the liquid supplier that the
potential fumes from the vaporized liquid are not hazardous.
When operating the Trinest instrument, treat all samples and waste as potentially infectious and always wear
appropriate protective equipment, consisting of a laboratory coat, protective gloves and safety glasses.
Do not touch the labware with unprotected hands to avoid direct contact with potentially hazardous substances and to
prevent any cross contamination of the hardware.
If the Trinest instrument becomes contaminated with any sample material; it must be disinfected and cleaned as soon
as possible. See Routine maintenance.
Risks associated with operation and maintenance
Caution: Do not use plates with a lid, frame or collar around the top. Using these types of plates may interfere with
the plate detection mechanism. Three SBS standard size microplates can be loaded into one unit.
Warning: The plates are not fastened to the plate holder. Use caution when moving plates in their plate holders,
especially if they contain biohazardous material.
Warning: If the plate holder mechanism is worn out, it may spill during shaking. Spillage may result in cross-
contamination of the samples or in the contamination of the instrument and the plate holders. Do not touch the
labware with unprotected hands and avoid direct contact with potentially hazardous substances,
Warning: Make sure that the incubation temperature is correct when loading the plates and during the incubation.
The instrument does not give an error if the actual incubation temperature deviates from the target incubation
temperature.
Warning: If the instrument chambers are already heated and you insert a plate without starting the incubation cycle,
the plate incubates for as long as the temperature remains high enough. In this case, the instrument timer does not
take the incubation time into account.
Warning: The plate incubates for as long as the temperature remains high enough unless it is removed from the
instrument.
Caution: Keep your hands, head, and other body parts away from the moving parts when the instrument is in
operation.
Warning: Disconnect the power supply before performing any maintenance on the instrument. Switch the
instrument off from the power switch and disconnect the power supply cable from the mains.
Caution: Allow the incubation chambers to cool down before cleaning them.
Warning: Do not clean the instrument with chlorine bleach, detergents based on chlorine scouring powder,
ammonium, steel wool or agents with metallic constituents. This can cause damage to the surface of the equipment.
