Decontamination and Disposal
WARNING BIOHAZARD. If you are putting biohazardous material on the
instrument, use appropriate personal protective equipment and adhere to Biosafety
in Microbiological and Biomedical Laboratories (BMBL), a publication from the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and to your lab's safety protocol to limit
biohazard risks. If biohazardous materials are used, properly label the equipment as
a biohazard. For more information, see the BMBL guidelines online at
cdc.gov/biosafety/publications/index.htm.
Ensure that the Juno system is cleaned and/or decontaminated prior to servicing the
equipment, removing it from use, or transporting it for disposal. Refer to the instructions
contained in this document and use only those materials specified.
