SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. Although the Problot Hybridization system has been designed to minimize user expo-
sure to radioactive materials, proper precautions must be taken when using radioactive
material.
2. Always inspect the hybridization bottles, caps and seals before use. Do not use
bottles, caps or seals that are cracked or chipped. Cap seals should be replaced if they
are severely deformed or discolored. Special attention should be paid to inspecting
bottle rims / threads.
3. DO NOT take bottles to temperatures higher than 70C without opening and retight-
ening
the cap to relieve pressure build-up. Temperatures above 70C can cause breakage of
hybridization bottles. If chamber temperatures rise above 70C when bottles are in use,
DO NOT OPEN THE OVEN DOOR. Reduce the temperature setting to below 70C or
turn the power off and allow sufficient time for the bottles to cool below 70C before
opening the door.
