Incorrect Handling Of The Centrifuge; Incorrect Handling Of The Rotors - USA Scientific Microcentrifuge 24 Mode D'emploi

Safety
Microcentrifuge 24
CAUTION! Poor safety due to incorrect accessories and spare parts.
The use of accessories and spare parts other than those recommended by the manufacturer may impair the safety, functioning and
precision of the device. The manufacturer cannot be held liable or accept any liability for damage resulting from the use of accessories and
spare parts other than those recommended or from the improper use of such equipment.
 Only use accessories and original spare parts recommended by the manufacturer.
NOTICE! Damage to the device due to spilled liquids.
1. Switch off the device.
2. Disconnect the device from the mains/power supply.
3. Carefully clean the device and the accessories in accordance with the cleaning and disinfection instructions in the operating manual.
4. If a different cleaning and disinfecting method is to be used, contact the manufacturer to ensure that the intended method will not
damage the device.
NOTICE! Damage to electronic components due to condensation.
Condensate may form in the device when it has been transported from a cool environment to a warmer environment.
 After installing the device, wait for at least 4 h. Only then connect the device to the mains/ power line.
2.5.2

Incorrect handling of the centrifuge

NOTICE! Damage from knocking against or moving the device during operation.
If the rotor hits the rotor chamber wall, it will cause considerable damage to the device and rotor.
 Do not move or knock against the device during operation.
2.5.3

Incorrect handling of the rotors

WARNING! Risk of injury from improperly attached rotors and rotor lids.
 Only centrifuge with the rotor and rotor lid firmly tightened.
 If unusual noises occur when the centrifuge starts, the rotor or rotor lid may not be properly secured.
Immediately press the STOP/OPEN key to stop centrifuging.
CAUTION! Risk of injury due to asymmetric loading of a rotor.
 Load rotors symmetrically with identical tubes.
 Only load adapters with suitable tubes.
 Always use the same type of tubes (weight, material/density and volume).
 Check that loading is symmetrical by balancing the adapters and tubes used with a balance.
CAUTION! Risk of injury from overloaded rotor.
The centrifuge is designed for the centrifugation of material with a maximum density of 1.2 g/ml at maximum speed and
filling volume and/or load.
 Do not exceed the maximum load of the rotor.
NOTICE! Damage to rotors from aggressive chemicals.
Rotors are high-quality assemblies which withstand extreme stresses. This stability can be impaired by aggressive chemicals.
 Avoid using aggressive chemicals such as strong and weak alkalis, strong acids, solutions with mercury ions, copper ions and other
heavy metal ions, halogenated hydrocarbons, concentrated saline solutions and phenol.
 If it is contaminated by aggressive chemicals, clean the rotor and especially the rotor bores immediately using a neutral cleaning agent.
