1.0 PURPOSE
To design the standard operating procedure for operation of Microwave Oven.2.0 SCOPE
2.1 This SOP shall be applicable for the operation of Microwave Oven.
3.0 RESPONSIBILITY
3.1 All the users including Scientist(s) and Research associate(s) of in-vitro department are responsible for implementation of this SOP and maintaining the Microwave Oven.
4.0 DISTRIBUTION
4.1 The Quality Assurance department responsible to keep SOP ‘Master Copy’ approved through Quality Manager.
4.2 The copy of ‘Control Copy’ of this SOP is being distributed in invitro department and placed near related Equipment/ Instrument as ‘Display Copy’.
5.0 ABBREVIATIONS
5.1 Abbreviations
5.1.1 SOP : Standard Operating Procedure
6.0 DEFINATIONS
6.1 Definitions
A microwave oven is an electric oven that heats and cooks food by exposing it to electromagnetic radiation in the microwave frequency range. This induces polar molecules in the food to rotate and produce thermal energy in a process known as dielectric heating.
7.0 PROCEDURE
7.1 Never put metal into a microwave.
7.2 Containers placed in microwaves must have their tops/caps/closures fully loosened. Agarose in particular is likely to expand when heated, leak into cap threads, dry out, and reseal the cap. When this happens the results can be catastrophic, and if not controlled will sooner or later cause serious injury or worse.
7.3 A label should be visible close to all microwave ovens, close to the control panel, warning of the dangers and giving instructions for safe operation.
7.4 Check that the containers used will withstand heating. Some plastic or wax based containers melt at high temperature. Duran type borosilicate glass containers are suitable for microwaving, but medical flats are not.
7.5 Check that the item does not give off fumes or vapors when heated.
7.6 Do not heat or dry any radioactive materials in the microwave.
7.7 Check door seals and latches regularly for signs of wear and damage.
7.8 Do not slam the door of the oven; this causes damage to latches and seals.
7.9 Clean up any spillages; microwaves will go to the point of any dried matter.
7.10 Microwaves used for laboratory work should never be used for heating food or drinks for human consumption.
7.11 Inform safety personnel if any sparking occurs during heating.
7.12 Safety checks should be made regularly.
8. PRECAUTIONS
8.1 Never use this Microwave oven to heat food.
8.2 A microwave oven should only be used if:
8.1.1 The surface of the door is not damaged and door seals are intact.
8.1.2 The door fits squarely and securely and opens and closes smoothly.
8.1.3 The door hinges are in good condition.
8.1.4 The oven is clean; door edges and interior surrounds are not covered with food or burnt material.
8.1.5 No corrosion is evident on the door, the door hinges or the oven interior.
