Thermal Safety
The
cell
surfaces
can
be
hot
enough
to
burn
the
skin
during
a
sample
run.
If
you
are
conducting
a
subambient
test
on
the
DSC,
cold
could
also
cause
injury.
After
running
any
type
of
experiment,
you
must
allow
the
DSC
cell
to
return
to
room
temperature
before
you
touch
the
inner
cell
surfaces.
Lifting the Instrument
The
DSC
is
a
fairly
heavy
instrument.
In
order
to
avoid
injury,
particularly
to
the
back,
please
follow
this
advice:
WARNING: Use two people to lift and/or carry the instrument. The instrument is too
heavy for one person to handle safely.
