WARNING
Risk of injury from contaminated sample material.
Contaminated sample material escapes from the sample
tube during centrifugation.
− Use centrifuge tubes with special screw caps for haz-
ardous substances.
−
For risk group 3 and 4 materials, use a biosafety system
in addition to the sealable centrifuge tubes (see WHO's
'Laboratory Biosafety Manual').
