Quality Control
It is considered good laboratory practice to run laboratory samples according to
instructions and specific recommendations included in the assay package insert for the
test to be conducted. Failure to conduct Quality Control checks could result in
erroneous test data.
Warnings
Operate the instrument on a level, stable surface away from excessive humidity.
Bright sunlight or strong incandescent light can reduce the linear performance
range of the instrument.
Measurement values may be affected by extraneous particles in the microplate
wells. A clean work area is necessary to ensure accurate readings.
When operated in a safe environment according to the instructions in this
document, there are no known hazards associated with the instrument.
However, the operator should be aware of certain situations that could result in
serious injury; these may vary depending on the instrument model. See Hazards
and Precautions.
Hazards
The following hazard warnings are provided to help avoid injury:
Warning! Internal Voltage. Always turn off the power switch and unplug the
power supply before cleaning the outer surface of the instrument.
Warning! Power Rating. The instrument’s power supply or power cord must
be connected to a power receptacle that provides voltage and current within
the specified rating for the system. Use of an incompatible power receptacle
may produce electrical shock and fire hazards.
Warning! Electrical Grounding. Never use a plug adapter to connect primary
power to the external power supply. Use of an adapter disconnects the utility
ground, creating a severe shock hazard. Always connect the power cord
directly to an appropriate receptacle with a functional ground.
Warning! Service. Only qualified technical personnel should perform service
procedures on internal components.
Warning! Accessories. Only accessories that meet the manufacturer's
specifications shall be used with the instrument.
