Safety information
G5585B PlateLocThermal Microplate Sealer Quick Guide
General precautions
For the general safety precautions, the intended product use statement, and the list of
safety labels, see the Automation Solutions Products General Safety Guide.
Chemical hazards
To avoid potential injury, do not use chemicals that have low flash points in the
PlateLoc Sealer. Such chemicals include reagents that are used in radioactive
scintillation proximity assays (SPAs) and solvents, including alcohols.
High-temperature hazard
The hot surfaces in the PlateLoc Sealer can cause a burn injury. Do not touch the
PlateLoc Sealer or pry open the door while it is in operation. Use care when
accessing the PlateLoc Sealer interior after the device is warmed up. Do not reach
into the PlateLoc Sealer when it is warmed up to a high temperature. Do not touch
the hot plate with your bare hands.
A freshly sealed microplate might still be hot from the sealing process. To prevent
potential injury, use caution when removing a sealed microplate from the PlateLoc
Sealer.
Moving-parts hazards
The PlateLoc Sealer contains moving parts that can cause injury. Under normal
operating conditions, the PlateLoc Sealer is designed to protect you from the moving
parts. The door sensor is designed so that the seal cycle cannot start unless the door is
closed.
Do not disable the door sensor or attempt to access the interior of the device through
any other openings. Exposure to the moving parts, such as the heated metal plate
(hot plate) or the seal-cutting blade can cause severe injuries.
