CAUTION:
Luminex calibrators and verifiers contain sodium azide. Sodium
azide is toxic and may also react with lead and copper plumbing
to form highly explosive metal azides. On disposal, flush drains
with a generous amount of cold water to prevent azide build-up.
Consult the manual guideline Safety Management No. CDC-22,
Decontamination of Laboratory Sink Drains to remove Azide
Salts (Centers for Disease Control, Atlanta, Georgia, April 30,
1976).

Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) or Surge Protector
Luminex recommends using either an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) or a surge
protector to protect your system from power outages. Use a UPS that provides 1300 watts for
at least 45 minutes. Select a surge protector that fits your requirements with regard to
electrical environment, endurance, suppressed voltage rating, and method of protection. The
surge protector requires three outlets and a minimum rating of 1500 watts. Either piece of
equipment should be listed by Underwriters Laboratory (UL) or a similar listing body, certified
by Canadian Standards Association (CSA), and marked Conformité Europeénne (CE) for
nondomestic use.
