Working with chemicals can be very dangerous. Many solvents are very carcinogenic so avoid contact and breathing the vapors. To minimize the chance of accident, make sure you always:
- Wear personal protective equipment. Required PPE at this bench are safety glasses and Trionic or Neoprene gloves.
- LNF Glove Policy
- Know the properties and hazards of chemicals you are working with. If you don’t know, find out by reading about them or asking staff.
- Plan the details of your process. Before you start working, plan what quantities of chemicals and sample carriers you will use. Plan how you will rinse your sample and what you will do with any waste generated. Make sure you know how the controllers work.
- Do not use this bench without proper training.
- Solvent Aspirator: Only solvents can be disposed of using this aspirator. Do not aspirate water with this aspirator.
- Water waste goes in the tank on the front left side of the bench. Rinse all labware and pour the water waste into this. Do NOT aspirate
