WARNING: For the safety of both the operator and service personnel, care should be taken when using 
this  centrifuge  if  handling  substances  that  are  known  to  be  toxic,  radioactive  or  contaminated  with 
pathogenic microorganisms. Use appropriate personal protection equipment (PPE). When Risk Group II 

materials are used, (as identified in the World Health Organization “Laboratory Bio

-

Safety Manual”), a B

io- 

Seal should be employed. In the event that materials of a higher risk group are being used, more than one 
level  of  protection  must  be  provided.  The  use  of  flammable  or  explosive  materials  as  well  as  those 
materials which have a vigorous chemical reaction is prohibited. 

 

Unplug the centrifuge before cleaning or performing maintenance. 

 

WARNING: Inspect centrifuge for cracks or physical damage to cabinet, lid, rotor, or tube holders. Damage 
may result in unsafe operation. Discontinue use until repairs have been performed. 

 

This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy, and if not installed and used in 
accordance with this operator manual, may cause interference to radio communications. 

 

Operation of this equipment in a residential area may cause interference, in which case the user will be 
required to correct the interference at his own expense.  

 

Due  to  the  lack  of  the  possibility  of  human  exposure,  all  Drucker  centrifuges  and  accessories  sold  by

The centrifuge should have 6” (15 cm) of clear space around the centrifuge. Proper ventilation is necessary to 

prevent the overheating of samples as well as premature failure of the centrifuge. Choose an area which allows 
unencumbered air flow, and where the temperature remains between 16°C and 32°C.
