Laser Safety
The Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer instrument is classified as a class 1 laser product
(IEC/EN 60825-1:2014). During operation of the instrument, no laser light is
accessible to the user.
When the laser is in use, the laser light source emits light at a power that may be
harmful to the eyes. To prevent operator exposure to potentially harmful laser
light, an interlock mechanism turns off the laser whenever the lid of the Agilent
2100 Bioanalyzer instrument is not closed. Furthermore, the lid cannot be
completely opened and has a black light absorbing surface to prevent any
potential laser light reflection.
The laser light source is securely enclosed within the instrument and is by design
not accessible. It is not allowed to access the laser source.
The laser source is a class 3B laser with a maximum output power of 10 mW
(CW) at a wavelength between 625 and 640 nm.
