Human Source Material. Treat As Potentially Infectious.
The Bio-Plex
® Precision Pro™ cytokine assays contain components of
human origin. This material should be handled as if capable of
transmitting infectious agents. Please use universal precautions. The
material has been tested by an FDA approved test and found negative
for HBsAg, HIV 1/2 Ab, HIV-1 Ag, and HCV. No test method can provide
total assurance that hepatitis B virus, hepatitis C virus, human
immunodeficiency virus, or other infectious agents are absent. These
components should be handled at Biosafety Level 2 containment [US
Government publication: Biosafety in Microbiological and Biomedical
Laboratories (CDC, 1999)]. Handle Bio-Plex Precision Pro serum and
plasma standard diluents as potentially biohazardous material under at
least Biosafety Level 2 containment.
