3.3.2 Damage to device
WARNING! Damage due to UV radiation.
Microliter cuvettes, e.g., Hellma® TrayCell (or microliter cuvettes with a similar design) divert
the radiation from the light source within the cuvette so the radiation can escape upward
when the lid is not closed.
 Before starting a measurement, ensure that the lid on the microliter cuvette is not open.
WARNING! Damage to health from toxic, radioactive or aggressive chemicals as well as
infectious liquids and pathogenic germs.
 Observe the national regulations for handling these substances, the biological security
level of your laboratory, the material safety data sheets and the manufacturer's application
notes.
 Wear personal protective equipment.
 For full instructions regarding the handling of germs or biological material of risk group II
