3.5.4 Extreme strain on the micro test tubes
WARNING! Risk of injury from chemically or mechanically damaged accessories.
Even minor scratches and cracks can lead to serious internal material damage.
Protect all accessory parts from mechanical damage.
Inspect the accessories for damage before each use. Replace any damaged accessories.
Do not use rotors or buckets with signs of corrosion or mechanical damage (e.g.
deformations).
Do not use any accessories whose maximum service life has been exceeded.
When inserting the buckets and rotors, ensure that they do not become scratched.
NOTICE! Damage to rotors from aggressive chemicals.
Rotors are high-quality components which withstand extreme stresses. This stability can be
impaired by aggressive chemicals.
Avoid using aggressive chemicals, including strong and weak alkalis, strong acids,
solutions with mercury, copper and other heavy metal ions, halogenated hydrocarbons,
concentrated saline solutions and phenol.
If the rotor is contaminated by aggressive chemicals, clean it immediately using a neutral
cleaning agent. This applies to the base plates of the rotors in particular.
CAUTION! Risk of injury from overloaded tubes.
Note the loading limits specified by the tube manufacturer.
Only use tubes which are approved by the manufacturer for the required rcf.
NOTICE! Risk from damaged tubes.
Damaged tubes must not be used, as this could cause further damage to the device and the
accessories and loss of the samples.
Before use, visually check all of the tubes for damage.
NOTICE! Hazard to plastic tubes from organic solvents.
The density of plastic tubes is reduced when organic solvents (e.g., phenol, chloroform) are
used, i.e. the tubes could become damaged.
Observe the manufacturer's specifications for chemical resistance of the tubes.
NOTICE! Micro test tubes are exposed to strong heat.
Please note the temperature resistance of the micro test tubes.
