Here are some precautions to take when using the Nucleic Acid Aerosol Cleaning Kit:
Before Use:
Read the instruction manual: Read the instruction manual carefully to understand the composition, use, scope of application, precautions and expiration date of the cleaning kit and other key information to ensure proper use.
Personal protection: Wear protective gloves, masks, goggles and other personal protective equipment to prevent contact with the nucleic acid remover and possible contaminants during the cleaning process, to protect their own safety.
Check the product: Check whether the nucleic acid remover has any abnormalities such as discoloration, precipitation, leakage, etc., check whether the spray device works properly, and make sure that the product is in good condition and can be used normally.
Environment Preparation: Close the doors and windows of the laboratory and stop using the ventilation system of the laboratory to prevent the nucleic acid aerosol from spreading to other areas during the cleaning process, and at the same time, cover or transfer the instruments, equipment, documents, etc. in the laboratory properly to avoid contamination by the cleaning solution.
In Use:
Configure and use the cleaner correctly: configure and dilute the nucleic acid cleaner according to the instructions, and do not change the concentration of use arbitrarily. When using the spray device, make sure that the spray is uniform and covers all areas to be cleaned, including countertops, instrument surfaces, walls, floors, and air, etc., but be careful to avoid overspray, which may lead to slippery floors and other safety hazards.
Pay attention to the action time: according to the degree of contamination and product instructions, strictly control the action time of the nucleic acid remover. Generally, wait about 1 hour for light contamination, and heavy contamination may require multiple treatments with a certain time interval each time to ensure that the scavenger gives full play to its role in effectively decomposing the source of nucleic acid contamination.
Avoid contact with the amplification system: Nucleic acid scavenger should never be added directly into the PCR amplification system or other nucleic acid detection reaction system, otherwise it will affect the experimental results.
Prevent damage to instruments and equipment: For some precision instruments and equipment, such as electronic balances, microscopes, etc., special care should be taken when spraying the cleaning solution to avoid damage caused by the cleaning solution entering the instrument. For instruments with heat dissipation ports or vents, use sealant plates to seal them before cleaning.
After use:
Cleaning and disinfection: After use, promptly wipe the table top, instrument surface, etc. with water or a damp cloth to remove residual nucleic acid remover. For the used absorbent paper, wipes and other waste, in accordance with laboratory biosafety requirements for classification and disposal, to prevent secondary pollution.
Ventilation: After the cleaning is completed, open the doors and windows of the laboratory and the ventilation system, adequate ventilation to accelerate air circulation, so that the laboratory environment as soon as possible to return to normal, but also to help discharge the cleaning process may produce a peculiar odor.
Verification of Effectiveness: Before re-experimenting, it is recommended that the laboratory be tested for nucleic acid contamination to verify the effectiveness of the cleaning and to ensure that the nucleic acid aerosol contamination has been effectively removed to avoid influencing the results of subsequent experiments.
Proper storage: Store the unused nucleic acid remover and spray device properly according to the requirements of the product manual, pay attention to moisture, sunlight, high temperature, to ensure that the product performance is stable during the validity period for the next use.
