Accessories
• Do not use the rotational vacuum concentrator with damaged
accessories.
• Observe the limit values concerning the load capacity of the
accessories.
• Only use accessories that have been approved by Martin Christ
Gefriertrocknungsanlagen GmbH. This does not apply to commercially
available vessels made of glass or plastic. We explicitly warn against
the use of equipment of poor quality! Breaking glass or bursting vessels
can cause dangerous situations during the evaporation process.
Handling of hazardous substances
• The generally applicable regulations for handling flammable substances
in laboratories/workplaces must be observed.
• The appropriate safety precautions must be observed during sample
preparation as well as during the loading and unloading of the rotational
vacuum concentrator.
• Be careful when handling hazardous substances such as strong acids
or bases, radioactive substances and volatile organic compounds: If
these types of substances leak or spill, they must be cleaned up
immediately.
• If samples containing hazardous substances such as strong acids or
bases, radioactive substances or volatile organic compounds leak or
spill inside a chamber, they must be promptly cleaned up.
• Be careful when handling solvents: Sources of ignition must be kept
away.
• When using flammable or hazardous solvents, the vacuum pump must
be vented to or operated inside a fume hood.

3.12 Remaining hazards
All Christ rotational vacuum concentrators were built state- of- the- art and
according to the accepted safety rules. However, danger to life and limb of
the operator, or of third parties, or impairments of the units or other material
assets cannot be completely excluded when the units are being used.
• Use the RVC only for the purpose that it was originally intended for (see
chapter 1.2 - "Intended use").
• Use the RVC only if it is in a perfect running state.
• Immediately eliminate any problems that can affect safety.
