• The chemicals contained in the reagent kits may be hazardous if improperly handled.
• Read the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) before performing tests.
• Safety equipment: Wear suitable eye protection and clothing when required, and follow instructions
carefully.
• Reagent spills: If a reagent spill occurs, wipe up immediately and rinse with plenty of water.
