2.5 Handling of reagents
Warning!
• If reagents are spilt inadvertently near electrical
cables or appliances, there is a risk of electric shock.
Switch the instrument off, unplug and remove the
liquid.
• CELLCLEAN is a strong alkaline cleaning solution.
Do not mix it with any acidic substances. Also, it
should not come in contact with skin or clothing. If
contact occurs, rinse skin or clothing with plenty of
water to avoid injury or damage, respectively.
• If CELLCLEAN makes contact with the instrument’s
surfaces, it will affect the surface finish and there is
danger of corrosion. Immediately wipe off the
CELLCLEAN with a damp cloth.
Caution!
• Use only the reagents specified in this manual.
• Read the note documentation and labeling on all
reagents.
• Avoid direct contact with reagents. Reagents can

especially when installing new cubes.
• When reagent is to be stored, store the reagent at
the specified temperature for each reagent.
• Reagents must not be used after their expiration
date.
• Handle reagents gently to avoid bubbling. Do not
shake! Do not use directly after transportation.
• Take sufficient care to prevent the reagent from
spilling. If reagent is spilt, wipe up with a damp cloth.
