Performing a wash
Chemicals in reagents and waste might cause personal injury through
contact with the skin, eyes, and mucosa. Follow the safety standards of
your laboratory and wear protective equipment (such as laboratory coat,
protective glasses, mask, and gloves) when performing a sequencing run.
