Disposal
    The packaging is to be taken to a local waste disposal site if no longer required. 
The packaging comprises of environmentally-friendly materials that can be used as 
secondary raw materials. The equipment, including accessories and batteries, should 
not be disposed of as regular household waste. EU legislation in Member States 
requires electrical and electronic equipment to be collected separately from  
unsorted municipal waste so that it may be recycled. In Germany and several other 
countries, Sartorius itself assumes responsibility for the return and conformant dis-
posal of its electronic and electrical products. These products may not be placed 
with household waste or brought to collection centers run by local public disposal 
operations – not even by small commercial operators. For disposal in Germany and 
in the other member nations of the European Economic Area, please contact our 
local service technicians or our Service Center in Goettingen:
 
Sartorius Service Center, 
Weender Landstrasse 94-108, 
37075 Goettingen, Germany
In countries that are not members of the European Economic Area (EEA) or where 
no Sartorius subsidiaries or dealerships are located, please contact your local 
authorities or a commercial disposal operator. Prior to disposal and |or scrapping of 
the equipment, any batteries should be removed and disposed of in local collection 
boxes. Sartorius will not take back equipment contaminated with hazardous  
materials (ABC contamination) – either for repair or disposal.

Department for more detailed information regarding repair service addresses or the 
disposal of your device.
