Safety instructions Biometra TRIO
14 Version 03_19
2.6.4 Handling of samples, auxiliary and operating materials
The operator is responsible for the selection of substances used in the process as well
as for their safe handling. This is particularly important for radioactive, pathogenic,
infectious, poisonous, corrosive or otherwise dangerous substances. For details contact
the safety officer responsible for your location. When handling dangerous substances
local safety codes and guidelines must be observed. The following general notes do
not replace the specific local regulations or the regulations in the safety data sheets of
the manufacturers for the auxiliary and operating materials.
The following has to be observed:
Protective goggles and rubber gloves have to be worn when handing reagents.
If only a few samples are treated, an (empty) tube of the same height must addi-
tionally be placed at each corner position of the block. If the number of samples in
the block is too low, there is a risk of the tubes being damaged and sample liquid
leaking out.
For your own safety, please observe the potential infectious qualities of the exam-
ined biological material.

The Biometra TRIO is usually repaired by the service department of Biometra GmbH or

The following has to be observed:
The exterior of the device may only be cleaned with a damp, not dripping, cloth
after the device has been switched off.
Do not use alcohol (e.g., methanol or ethanol), organic solvents or abrasives to

Any maintenance on the device may usually only be carried out in the switched-off
condition (unless stated otherwise).
