• Use suitable overvoltage protection to ensure that no overvoltage (such as that caused by a bolt
of lightning) can reach the product. Otherwise, the person operating the product will be exposed to
the danger of an electric shock.
• The overvoltage protection should limit the magnitude of the overvoltage surge to 1 kV between the
any of the power line and ground.
• Unless expressly permitted, never remove the cover or any part of the housing while the product is
in operation. Doing so will expose circuits and components and can lead to injuries, fire or damage
to the product.
• Any object that is not designed to be placed in the openings of the housing must not be used for
this purpose. Doing so can cause short circuits inside the product and/or electric shocks, fire or
injuries.
Magnet Safety
The CTS
™
DynaCellect
™
Magnetic Separation System has very strong permanent magnets for
separation of paramagnetic Dynabeads
™
magnetic beads with or without bound cells. The magnetic
strength of the magnet is up to 8,500 Gauss (0.85 T). Carriers of medical devices or medical
implants are strongly advised to not transport the CTS

Magnetic Separation System,
assemble or use the device without prior medical consultation in order to avoid possible health
hazards. EHS professionals should be consulted to further inspect the entire working area for possible
risks and to provide additional safety instructions, if necessary. Optionally, third party providers like
workplace safety consultants could be enlisted. Please note, that the magnetic field strength decreases
exponentially with distance. However, the actual magnetic field exposure is depending on the position
of the magnet inside the instrument (engaged or disengaged) as well as the position of the magnet
on the laboratory bench, which is why the actual exposure needs to be assessed for each situation
individually. No ferromagnetic materials or materials that are sensitive to magnetic fields should come
in close vicinity of the magnets. We recommend including these safety instructions in the training for all
users of the CTS

DynaCellect
™
Magnetic Separation System magnet as well as any laboratory or clean
room personnel.
