Special Instructions
•
If liquids with a density
>
1.2 g/cm
3
are used, reduce the speed (see 11.1.2
"Density", page 67).
•
Protective clothing is not required for the operation of the centrifuge.
The materials to be centrifuged may, however, require special safety
measures (e.g. centrifugation of infectious, toxic, radioactive, or pathogenic
substances).
•
Spin infectious material in sealed rotors and buckets only in order to prevent
the material from leaking into the centrifuge.
•
Avoid the corrosion of the centrifuge and its accessories by careful
maintenance (see chapter 7 "Care and Maintenance", page 47 ff).
•
When not using the centrifuge, open the lid so that all liquids can evaporate.
•
Stop the centrifuge immediately in the event of a malfunction. Eliminate the
problem (see 6.2, page 43 ff) or inform the SIGMA Laborzentrifugen GmbH
service team (see 6.2.7 "Service Contact", page 46).
