Warnings and Safety Precautions
Warnings and Safety Precautions
The DYNEX Technologies DSX™ Automated ELISA System is designed to meet all relevant
safety codes. The service engineer should note the following points:
1 If any fluid contains an organic solvent, make sure that the laboratory is well
ventilated, so that a build-up of solvent cannot occur. In addition, avoid open
flames and sparks.
2 The system should be plugged into a power line that is connected to a true
ground. Make certain that all internal grounding cables are connected.
3 The reagents, wash solution etc., may contain compounds that may be
hazardous. Always wear safety glasses and protective clothing when working with
the washing solution or when the washer is operating (when testing the system, it
is recommended that deionized water be used).
4 The microplates and the waste solution may contain materials that present a
toxicological, radioactive or biological hazard. If the system is returned to a
DYNEX Technologies service facility, make certain that a "Certification of
Decontamination" is submitted before working on the unit.
5 Line voltage is present in the Power Supply printed circuit board and lower
voltages are present in other components. If the power must be on during testing,
take care to avoid contacting exposed components.
6 The cover interlock is provided as a safety feature so that the unit will not function
when the cover is in the upright (open position). If the interlock is disabled, there
is the possibility for bodily injury from rapid movements by the X, Y, and Z
assemblies. Care should be taken when operating the unit in this state.
