Biological safety
During operation, the centrifuge can generate particles suspended in the air. Since these NEYA 8/10/16 models are
not refrigerated centrifuges therefore they do not have a completely sealed chamber. This type of ventilated
centrifuge helps to reduce the excess heat created by the friction of the rotor with air in the internal chamber,
while the Neya 10R / 16R refrigerated models have a totally sealed chamber. To minimize the risks of aerosols
coming into direct contact with the person, always use tubes with biosafe lids. Glass tubes, if used, should not be
filled to the top to avoid spilling of liquid. Also, since the lid on the top has a gasket, you must make sure that this
gasket is not damaged. As it prevents direct exposure of the user with the sample. It is also advisable to open the
centrifuge lid 3 minutes after the centrifuge has stopped. This will give the particles time to disperse into air.
Bioseals (biological seal) is a part of biological safety systems, which are unable to guarantee the safety of people
and the environment when handling pathogenic microorganisms or infectious liquids. When working with
pathogenic organisms or infectious liquids of a high-risk group, more than one aerosol-tight seal must be provided.
If liquids are spilled into the chamber or into the rotor housing, the centrifuge must be thoroughly and entirely
cleaned by specialized personnel. In case of contact with infectious liquids and pathogenic germs, comply with
national regulations, the biological safety level of your laboratory, the safety data sheets and the manufacturers'
instructions for use. Wear personal protective
equipment’s

Intended use
Centrifuges are widely used in auxiliary laboratories, hospitals, industries, research institutes, medical and
pharmaceutical laboratories. They are also suitable for determining the settlement of paints, cosmetics and food
products. This centrifuge is designed exclusively to accelerate the separation between substances having different
densities by using of the centrifugal force or, more precisely, centrifugal acceleration.
