•
Do not centrifuge toxic or radioactive substances or
pathogenic microorganisms unless you have taken
proper precautions.
Such precautions can e.g. consist of biological
seals.
•
Should toxins or pathogenic substances enter the
centrifuge or its parts, you must carry out the proper
procedures for disinfection (see "Maintenance and
care – Disinfection").
•
Strongly corrosive substances that may cause dam-
age to materials and impair the mechanical strength
of the rotor may be centrifuged only inside protec-
tive vessels.
Handling
•
Never use the centrifuge unless the rotor is properly
mounted.
•
Never manually open the lid if the rotor still turns.
•
Use only original parts for the centrifuge. The only
exception are common glass or plastic centrifuge
tubes if these are approved for the rotor speed and
RCF values of your rotor, respectively.
•
Never use the centrifuge with the lid open.
•
Never use the centrifuge if the paneling has been
partially or totally removed.
•
Changes in mechanical or electrical components
may be carried out only by persons authorized to
this effect by KENDRO Laboratory Products.
•
You may use the centrifuge only with a properly
loaded rotor. You must not overload the rotor.
•
If the rotor or the lid shows visible traces of corro-
sion or wear, you must stop using it.
•
Strictly follow the rules and regulations for cleaning
and disinfection.
