The temperature controlling i.e. immersing of test tubes,
Erlenmeyer flasks or similar objects directly within the
unit constitutes normal circulator practise.
We do not know which substances are contained within
these vessels. Many substances are dangerous:
•
inflammable, easily ignited or explosive
•
hazardous to health
•
environmentally unsafe
You alone are responsible for the handling of these sub-
stances! Our advice:
•
If in doubt, consult a safety specialist.
•
Read the product manufacturer’s or supplier’s
“
EC – SAFETY DATA SHEET
”
