NEVER exceed the rated speed or specific gravity. Samples whose density is greater than
1.2 g/ml must have reduced maximum rotational speed to avoid rotor failure.
ALWAYS load the rotor symmetrically with evenly weighted samples to avoid rotor imbalance. If
necessary, use the water blank to counterbalance the unpaired sample.
NEVER use Biosafety rotor without lid
ALWAYS locate the instrument on a flat, level, rigid, and vibration free surface.
ALWAYS mark a safety zone of 30 cm around the centrifuge to indicate that neither hazardous
materials nor persons should be permitted within the area during operation, as safety regulations
required.
ALWAYS position the instrument with additional free space on each side of instrument to ensure
proper ventilation.
ALWAYS install the instrument within a temperature and humidity controlled environment.
(Permissible ambient temperature: +5 °C – +35 °C, Relative humidity: ≤ 80 %)
ALWAYS disconnect the power supply prior to maintenance and servicing to avoid electrical
shock. Do not immerse.
ALWAYS use proven disinfection procedures when centrifuging bio-hazardous materials.
Please follow the guidelines above, and read this manual in its entirety to ensure safe operation of the unit.
When it is required to handle the Risk Group II materials that are known to be toxic,
radioactive materials or pathogenic micro-organisms, as identified in the World Health
Organization (WHO): “Laboratory Biosafety Manual,” the guidelines recommended by
WHO should be followed to ensure the safety.
