Biohazard warning
This warning applies to Waters instruments that can be used to process
material that might contain biohazards: substances that contain biological
agents capable of producing harmful effects in humans.
Chemical hazard warning
This warning applies to Waters instruments that can process corrosive, toxic,
flammable, or other types of hazardous material.
Warning: Waters’ instruments and software can be used to analyze or
process potentially infectious human-sourced products, inactivated
microorganisms, and other biological materials. To avoid infection
with these agents, assume that all biological fluids are infectious,
observe good laboratory practices, and consult your organization’s
biohazard safety representative regarding their proper use and
handling. Specific precautions appear in the latest edition of the US
National Institutes of Health (NIH) publication, Biosafety in
Microbiological and Biomedical Laboratories (BMBL).
Warning: Waters instruments can be used to analyze or
process potentially hazardous substances. To avoid injury

Practices (GLP), and consult your organization’s safety
representative regarding proper use and handling.
Guidelines are provided in the latest edition of the
National Research Council's publication, Prudent Practices
