Preface
iv MICRO STAR 17 / 17R VWR
Intended Use
• This centrifuge is a laboratory product designed to separate components by generation of a relative
centrifugal force. It separates human samples (e.g. blood, urine and other body fluids) collected in
appropriate containers, either alone or after addition of reagents or other additives.
• As general-purpose centrifuge, it is designed to also run other containers filled with chemicals,
environmental samples and other non-human body samples.
• The centrifuge is to be used for separating materials of different density or particle size suspended
in a liquid.
Maximum sample density at maximum speed: 1.2
Accident Prevention
WARNING If a hazardous situation occurs, turn off the power supply to the centrifuge
and leave the area immediately.
WARNING Plug the centrifuge only into sockets which have been properly grounded.
Prerequisite for the safe operation of the VWR MICRO STAR 17 / 17R is a work
environment in compliance with standards, directives and trade association safety
regulations and proper instruction of the user.
The safety regulations contain the following basic recommendations:
• Maintain a radius of at least 30cm around the centrifuge.
