WARNING
The cassette and cassette bag contain an aqueous solution
containing 0.1 to 0.2 N NaOH and 20 to 22% glycerin by weight.
When opening the cassette bag, follow the standard safety
procedures for handling aqueous NaOH, including the use of safety
glasses, safety gloves, and protective lab coat.
To avoid unexpected spilling, hold the cassette package upright
over a sink and trim the top of the cassette bag with scissors. Drain
and dispose of the excess storage solution in accordance with
environmental regulations.
To avoid inadvertent contact with the storage solution after the
cassette is removed from the bag, rinse the outside surface of the
cassette with high purity water.
WARNING
Cassette holders are heavy. Dropping a cassette holder on your
feet or hands can cause bodily injury. To prevent injury from
dropping a cassette holder on your feet or hands, ensure you have a
secure, controlled grip and a sufficient number of people — or the
proper equipment — to move the cassette holder. Wear safety
shoes. The weight of cassette holders requires that you support
them well, especially when integrated into a cross-flow system.
Ensure the holder and piping is properly supported and that piping
supports meet local safety codes.
Mishandling potentially hazardous process and cleaning solutions
can cause bodily harm. To safely handle potentially hazardous
process, cleaning, and storage solutions, read the material safety
data sheets for the solutions you use. Follow the material safety
data sheet instructions for safe handling and use the personal
protection equipment required by your company, and local, state,
and federal laws.
CAUTION
If the Kvick Lab system pump runs dry (without any process fluid in
it), you can damage the pump. To prevent damage to the pump,
ensure that fluid is present in the reservoir and feed line whenever
you run the pump.
