12.4 DECONTAMINATION
All biological samples should be considered to be potentially dangerous. The contact between
contaminated hands and the appliance can cause the contamination of the appliance.
Before operation of decontamination, unplug the mains power supply cable.
Use the adapted personal protective equipment : laboratory gloves, laboratory glasses and a
laboratory coat.
Decontamination solution advised:
- Bleaching water with 2,6% of active Chlorine (available in the commerce)
- Solutions like Stereanios of the Laboratoires Anios or Elusept of Pierre Fabre Santé
If your laboratory procedures require it:
- the reagent bottles can be decontaminated before being disposed of;
- the appliance itself and its accessories (slide-holder, rinsing station) can be decontaminated using air or
manual cleaning. Use a decontamination solution and scrub using a clean cloth soaked in the disinfecting
