Actions in the case of a broken cell
WARNING
Cells can contain dangerous substances. If the contents are released,
follow the safety instructions of the package insert. If necessary, take
corresponding protective measures (protective goggles, protective

according to the instructions of the reagent package.
3 Carefully remove all broken glass, e.g. with tweezers.
