Safety Advisories

Mass spectrometer shock hazard

This warning applies to all Waters mass spectrometers.

This warning applies to certain instruments when they are in Operate mode.

Biohazard warning

This warning applies to Waters instruments that can be used to process

material that might contain biohazards: substances that contain biological

agents capable of producing harmful effects in humans.

Warning:

To avoid electric shock, do not remove the mass spectrometer’s

protective panels. The components they cover are not user-serviceable.

Warning:

High voltages can be present at certain external surfaces of

the mass spectrometer when the instrument is in Operate mode. To

avoid non-lethal electric shock, make sure the instrument is in Standby

mode before touching areas marked with this high voltage warning

symbol.

Warning:

Waters instruments and software can be used to analyze or

process potentially infectious human-sourced products, inactivated

microorganisms, and other biological materials. To avoid infection with

these agents, assume that all biological fluids are infectious, observe

Good Laboratory Practices, and consult your organization’s biohazard

safety representative regarding their proper use and handling. Specific

precautions appear in the latest edition of the US National Institutes of

Health (NIH) publication,

Biosafety in Microbiological and Biomedical

Laboratories

(BMBL).
