Instrument consumables handling, usage limits, and
expiration
IMPORTANT! Before handling chemicals, read and understand all applicable Safety Data Sheets
(SDSs) and use appropriate personal protective equipment (gloves, gowns, eye protection, etc). To
obtain SDSs, see Appendix G, “Documentation and support”.
IMPORTANT! Use only the par
ts listed in Appendix D, “Catalog numbers”.
Containers and pouches are ready-to-use. Labels are embedded with a radio frequency identification
(RFID) tag that the instrument uses t
o track usage and expiration date.
Configuring the instrument to prevent the use of consumables beyond
expiration and usage limits
By default, the instrument is configured to allow the use of consumables beyond expiration and usage
limits.
For information on changing the configuration, see “Configure consumables usage and warnings
(administrator only)” on page 453.
Important notice regarding use of consumables that exceed supported limits
BEFORE DISMISSING THE WARNING THAT THE CONSUMABLES HAVE REACHED SUPPORTED
LIMITS AND CONTINUING WITH OPERATION OF THE INSTRUMENT, PLEASE READ AND
UNDERSTAND THE FOLLOWING IMPORTANT NOTICE AND INFORMATION:
Thermo Fisher Scientific does not recommend the use of consumables that exceed supported limits.
The recommended limits are designed to promote the production of high-quality data and minimize
instrument downtime. Reagent and consumable lifetime minimum performance are based on testing
and studies that use reagents and consumables that have not exceeded supported limits.
The use of consumables beyond the supported limits may impact data quality or cause damage to the
instrument or capillary array. The cost of repairing such damage is NOT covered by any Thermo Fisher
Scientific product warranty or service plan. Customer use of expired consumables is at customer's
own risk and without recourse to Thermo Fisher Scientific. For example, product warranties do not
apply to defects resulting from or repairs required due to misuse, neglect, or accident including, without
limitation, operation outside of the environmental or use specifications or not in conformance with
Thermo Fisher Scientific instructions for the instrument system, software, or accessories.
Please see your specific service contract or limited product warranty for exact language regarding
coverage and ask your Thermo Fisher Scientific representative if you have further questions.
