A short overview
Safety instructions
All general safety regulations should be observed when using laboratory instruments (e.g. the guidelines for laboratories of employers’ liability insurance associations).
The following should be observed:
Suitable protective clothing should be worn when using certain liquids
Instructions and regulations of reagent manufacturers should be heeded
Defined operational prohibitions and usage restrictions of device manufacturers should be observed
Laboratory devices should be checked prior to use by the user to ensure that they are functioning perfectly
Devices which are being sent for repair should be cleaned and decontaminated
Damaged volumetric measuring devices made of glass should no longer be repaired
Volumetric measuring devices made of glass should not be exposed to abrupt temperature changes, as this can lead to stress and, consequently, an increased risk of breakage
