WARNING
• Ensure that all repairs are performed only by authorised and
specialised personnel.
• Prior to any start-up, check the centrifuge, rotor, and accessories for
signs of damage that can be discerned from the outside. Special
attention must be paid to all of the rubber parts (e.g. motor cover, lid
seal, and adapters) in terms of visible structural changes. Defective
parts must be replaced immediately.
• Open the centrifuge when it is not in use so that moisture can
evaporate.

3.6.4
Chemical and biological safety
If pathogenic, toxic, or radioactive samples are intended to be used in the
centrifuge, it is in the responsibility of the user to ensure that all necessary
safety regulations, guidelines, precautions, and practices are adhered to
accordingly.
DANGER
• Infectious, toxic, pathogenic, and radioactive substances may only be
used in special, certified containment systems with a bio-seal in order
to prevent the material from being released.
• Take suitable precautions for your own safety if there is a risk of toxic,
radioactive, or pathogenic contamination
• Materials that chemically react with each other with a high level of
energy are prohibited.
WARNING
• Keep informed about local measures to avoid harmful emissions
(depending on the substances to be centrifuged).
• 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).
