6.C. Dealing with Spills
Wipe up any spills immediately. If any material spills in the instrument, wipe up the material with a cloth
dampened with 70% ethanol. Note that the reagents contain hazardous materials; therefore dispose of the
cleaning materials according to your institutional guidelines. Wipe well once visible material is removed. In
case of spills in the instrument where there is a potential biohazard, wipe up the spill with paper towels and
wash the spill area with a detergent solution such as Steris LpH
®
following the manufacturer’s instructions.
Dispose of towels used according to your institutional guidelines for biohazardous waste.
Important.
Bleach reacts with guanidine thiocyanate, which may be used in Maxwell
®
RSC reagent
cartridges, and should not be added to any sample waste containing lysis solutions. Bleach should not be
used to clean Maxwell
®
RSC reagent spills.
