CIENTIFIC HAS ADOPTED THE FOLLOWING POSITION WITH REGARD TO THE SUBJECT OF
VOLATILE CHEMICALS USED IN MEDICAL LABORATORIES
:
•
Non-specified chemicals are used in the instrument at the customers own risk.
• All the chemicals recommended by Thermo Fisher Scientific have auto-ignition temperatures considerably
above any surface temperature that can be reached during a single fault failure on the instrument. The
paraffin wax present will not reach a temperature that will produce flammable vapour.
• The instrument contains no source of ignition in any areas of the instrument where chemicals are stored, or
are likely to leak into in a single fault condition.
• The operator is fully aware of the contents of the specification documents detailing the properties of the
chemicals they are using.
• The operator has carried out any legally required assessment of chemicals used and is using good laboratory
practice.
Some chemicals which may be used during operation are flammable - do not use sources of
ignition in the vicinity of the instrument when it is loaded with reagents.
Harmful chemical vapours such as xylene and toluene may be emitted during the normal
operation of some instruments, and the operator should be aware of suitable precautions
and safety measures.
