1.6 Safety Instructions

1. Read the entire instruction manual before beginning the

assay.

2. Wear gloves and protective clothing, such as a laboratory

coat and goggles, when preparing and working with the
solutions in the assay. The Immun-Star enhancer contains
diethanolamine, which can cause skin and eye irritation. In
case of contact, immediately flush the skin or eyes with
copious amounts of water for at least 15 min, and remove
contaminated clothing.

Note: See Material Data Safety Sheet on diethanolamine
for additional information.

3. Work in well-ventilated areas. Avoid inhalation of vapors

when handling solutions containing diethanolamine.

4. Do not mouth-pipet any solutions.
