Biohazard and chemical hazard warning
This warning applies to Waters instruments and devices that can process
biohazards, corrosive materials, or toxic materials.
Caution advisory
Caution advisories appear where an instrument or device can be subject to use
or misuse that can damage it or compromise a sample’s integrity. The
exclamation point symbol and its associated statement alert you to such risk.
Warning:
To avoid personal contamination with biohazards,
toxic materials, or corrosive materials, you must understand
the hazards associated with their handling.
Guidelines prescribing the proper use and handling of such
materials appear in the latest edition of the National
Research Council's publication,
Prudent Practices in the
Laboratory: Handling and Disposal of Chemicals.
Observe Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) at all times,
particularly when working with hazardous materials, and
consult the safety representative for your organization
regarding its protocols for handling such materials.
Caution:
To avoid damaging the instrument’s case, do not clean it with
abrasives or solvents.
