Extreme strain on the centrifugation tubes

CAUTION! Risk of injury from overloaded tubes.
 Note the loading limits specified by the tube manufacturer.
 Only use tubes which are approved by the manufacturer for the required g-force (rcf).
NOTICE! Risk from damaged tubes.
Damaged tubes must not be used, as this could cause further damage to the device and the accessories and sample loss.
 Before use, visually check all of the tubes for damage.
NOTICE! Danger due to deformed or brittle tubes. Autoclaving at excessive temperatures can lead to tubes
made from plastic becoming brittle and deformed.
This could cause damage to the device and the accessories and sample loss.
 Observe the temperatures specified by the manufacturer when autoclaving tubes.
 Do not use brittle or deformed rechargeable tubes.
NOTICE! Danger from open tube lids.
Open tube lids can break off during centrifugation and damage the rotor and the centrifuge.
 Carefully seal all tube lids before centrifuging.
NOTICE! Damage to plastic tubes from organic solvents.
The strength of plastic tubes is reduced when organic solvents (e.g., phenol, chloroform) are used, which will damage the tubes.
 Note the manufacturer's information on the chemical resistance of the tubes.
NOTICE! Micro test tubes heat up.
In non-refrigerated centrifuges, the temperature in the rotor chamber, rotor and sample may increase to above 40 °C,
depending on the run time, g-force (rcf) / speed and ambient temperature.
 Please note that this will reduce the centrifugation stability of the micro test tubes.
 Please note the temperature resistance of the samples.
