The instrument micro-classic can be used in combination with hazardous
materials, work processes and equipment. However, the operating
manual cannot cover all of the safety issues that may occur in doing so. It
is the user's responsibility to ensure compliance with the safety and
health regulations and to specify the corresponding restrictions before
use.
1. Every user must read and observe this user manual before using the
device.
2. Follow the general hazard instructions and safety regulations (e.g.,
wear protective clothing, eye protection, and protective gloves).
3. Observe all specifications provided by reagent manufacturers.
4. Use the instrument only for pipetting liquids and only within the
defined limits of use. If in doubt, contact the manufacturer or
supplier.
5. Always perform work in a manner that does not endanger yourself or
other people. Avoid splattering. Only use suitable vessels.
6. Always attach only unfilled pipettes to prevent contamination and
infection risks.
7. Make sure that no liquid gets into the device.
8. Never use force.
9. Use only original accessories and original replacement parts. Do not
make any technical modifications. Do not dismantle the instrument
any further than is described in the operating manual!
10. Always check that the instrument is in proper working condition
before use. If an instrument fault is signaled, stop pipetting
immediately and follow the instructions in the section
