Always close the tube caps. Open caps can tear off during operation and cause damage.
Aerosol-tight Applications
Basic Principles
• Check that the sample containers are well suited for the desired centrifugation process.
• Gravitation fields up to 21100xg.
• The temperature in ventilated centrifuges can reach 15°C above room temperature.
Prior to each use, the seals in the rotor are to be inspected in order to assure that they are correctly
seated.
Prior to each use, the seals are to be inspected in order to assure that they are not worn or damaged,
lubricate them slightly.
Always use the supplied grease when lubricating the seals.
Damaged seals must be replaced immediately.
Replacement seals are supplied with the rotor or can be order as spare part.
CAUTION When operating the rotor without the lid the seals are not fixed in their
position and can damage the centrifuge.
CAUTION Aerosol-tight rotors and tubes may only be opened in an approved safety
work-bench when centrifuging dangerous samples.
Mind the maximum permissible load.
WARNING Be sure to check all sealings before starting any aerosol-tight applications.
