Training Requirement: Only trained laboratory personnel should operate the DLAB EcoStir.

2. FIRST AID MEASURES

Sample Splash to Eyes: If a biological or chemical sample splashes into the eyes during mixing, flush immediately with water for 15 minutes and seek medical attention.
Skin Contact: Wash contaminated skin with soap and water thoroughly. If irritation or signs of infection develop, seek medical evaluation.
Chemical Exposure: If a hazardous chemical is spilled on the skin or clothing, refer to the specific Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for that chemical for detailed first-aid instructions.
Inhalation: If chemical vapors from volatile reagents are inhaled during sample preparation, move to fresh air immediately; seek medical attention if symptoms persist.
Electrical Shock: If an electrical shock incident occurs, disconnect power at the circuit breaker before attempting to assist the victim. Do not touch the victim until power is disconnected. Seek emergency medical attention.

3. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

Flammability: The PET work plate and plastic components of the stirrer housing are combustible. Do not operate near flammable solvents, gases, or volatile materials.
Extinguishing Media: Use carbon dioxide (CO₂) or a dry chemical extinguisher for fires involving electrical equipment. Do not use water on electrical fires.
Fire Response: The primary fire hazard is the flammable liquids being mixed. In case of fire, disconnect the stirrer from its power source if safe to do so, evacuate the area, and follow the laboratory's fire safety protocols.
