Safety information
Note: For important instrument safety information, refer to the AB Library Builder
™
System User Guide (Part no. 4463421). For general safety information, see this section
and Appendix F, “Safety” on page 77. When a hazard symbol and hazard type appear
by a chemical name or instrument hazard, see the “Safety” Appendix for the complete
alert on the chemical or instrument.
Safety alert words
Four safety alert words appear in Applied Biosystems user documentation at points in
the document where you need to be aware of relevant hazards. Each alert word—
IMPORTANT, CAUTION, WARNING, DANGER—implies a particular level of
observation or action, as defined below:
IMPORTANT! – Indicates information that is necessary for proper instrument
operation, accurate chemistry kit use, or safe use of a chemical.
CAUTION! – Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided,
may result in minor or moderate injury. It may also be used to alert against
unsafe practices.
WARNING! – Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided,
could result in death or serious injury.
DANGER! – Indicates an imminently hazardous situation that, if not avoided,
will result in death or serious injury. This signal word is to be limited to the most
extreme situations.
Except for IMPORTANTs, each safety alert word in an Applied Biosystems document
appears with an open triangle figure that contains a hazard symbol. These hazard
symbols are identical to the hazard symbols that are affixed to Applied Biosystems instruments.
