Bio-Rad Profinia™ Protein Purification Instrument - Manual (Page 3)

Caution!
Please read all safety-related information before operating the Profinia system.
This instrument is for laboratory use only.
Always connect the power supply to a 3-prong, grounded AC outlet using the AC power
cord provided with the Profinia instrument. Do not use an adaptor to connect to a 2-terminal
outlet.
The right-side back panel is easily removable for access to user-serviceable parts. Never
remove any other outer casings of the Profinia instrument. Call your local Bio-Rad office for
instrument service.
Do not operate the Profinia instrument in extreme humidity (>95%), or in a condensing
environment.
When taking the Profinia instrument into a cold room, the unit can be operated immediately.
However, when removing the unit from the cold room, let it warm up to room temperature
for a minimum of 2 hours before switching on the power. This avoids damage from possible
condensation.
The Profinia instrument is not designed for use with flammable liquids. Flammable liquids
should never be placed in either the buffer or sample inlets of the instrument.
