Luminex xPONENT 4.2 for FLEXMAP - Manual (Page 15)

Safety Precautions
DANGER: Samples and waste fluid can contain biohazardous infectious
agents. Handle them at Biosafety level 2, as recommended for
any potentially infectious human serum or blood specimen in the
DCE/NIH manual, Biosafety in Microbiological and Biomedical
Laboratories, 1984.
CAUTION: Although beads do not contain hazardous or carcinogenic
components at toxic levels, they can be toxic if swallowed. In
addition, contact with acids liberates toxic gases. If beads come
into contact with skin, wash immediately with copious amounts of
water. In case of an accident, seek medical advice immediately
and show the product label or container to your medical provider.
A material safety data sheet (MSDS) is available upon request.
CAUTION: Luminex ® reagents can contain ProClin ® as a preservative. This
can cause an allergic reaction in some people. Use personal
protective equipment (PPE), including gloves and safety glasses.
Check the assay package insert for assay component
information.
NOTE: Do not use strong organic solvents with this instrument. Contact
Luminex ® Technical Support when in doubt about compatibility of
cleaning and decontamination agents or materials.
