DANGER!

Labnet accessories are not biotite. For centrifuging infectious materials, it is necessary to use

hermetically closed tubes meeting demands of bio tightness, in order to prevent germs

migration into the centrifuge and beyond it.

User is responsible for proper disinfections of the centrifuge, if some dangerous material was

spilled inside or outside of the centrifuge. During the above mentioned works one must wear

safety gloves.
