Biological Hazard Warning Note

In laboratories where samples with potential biological hazards are handled, the user must 
label any equipment or parts which might become contaminated with biohazardous material.

WARNING  

Before using hazardous substances (toxic, harmful, and so on), please read the 

hazard indications and information reported in the applicable Material Safety Data Sheet 
(MSDS). Use personal protective equipment according to the safety requirements.

AVERTISSEMENT

 Avant d’utiliser des substances dangereuses (toxiques, nocives, etc.), 

veuillez lire attentivement les indications et informations relatives au risque reprises sur la 
fiche de données de sécurité adéquate. Utilisez un équipement de protection individuelle
