1. Check the sealing ring in the cap.
The sealing ring is not damaged and is seated evenly in the groove.
2. Place the cap on the bucket and screw it tight.
CAUTION! Risk of injury due to chemically damaged rotor lids or caps.
Transparent rotor lids or caps made from PC, PP or PEI may loose their strength under the
impact of organic solvents (e.g. phenol, chloroform).
If rotor lids or caps have come into contact with organic solvents, they should be cleaned
immediately.
Check the rotor lids and caps regularly for any damages and cracks.
Replace any rotor lids or caps which show cracks or milky stains immediately.
NOTICE! Damage to the cap from organic solvents.
The cap is made from polycarbonate. Polycarbonate is not resistant to phenol and chloroform
Phenol and chloroform vapors damage the cap and reduce the aerosol tightness.
If you are using the cap do not centrifuge any substances which contain phenol or
chloroform.
