Aerosol-tight centrifugation

WARNING! Risk to health due to limited aerosol tightness with incorrect rotor/rotor lid combination.
Aerosol-tight centrifugation is guaranteed only if the rotors and rotor lids intended for this purpose are used. The designation of an
aerosol-tight fixed-angle rotor ends with AT.
 Always use a rotor and rotor lid marked aerosol-tight together for aerosol-tight centrifugation. The details specifying in which
centrifuge you may use the aerosol-tight rotor and rotor lid can be found on the rotor and on the top of the rotor lid.
 Only use the aerosol-tight rotor lid in combination with the rotor that is specified on the rotor lid.
WARNING! Damage to health as a result of limited aerosol tightness and incorrect usage.
Mechanical stresses and contamination by chemicals or other aggressive solvents may impair the aerosol tightness of the rotors and
rotor lids. Autoclaving at excessive temperatures can lead to vessels, adapters and rotor lids becoming brittle and deformed.
 Check the integrity of the seals of the aerosol-tight rotor lids or caps before each use.
 Only use aerosol-tight rotor lids or caps if the seals are undamaged and clean.
 Do not exceed temperatures of 121°C or a time of more than 20 min. while autoclaving.
 Lightly grease the threads of the rotor lid screw with pivot grease after every proper autoclaving process (121 ° C, 20 min.).
 For aerosol-tight rotor lids with exchangeable seal, the seal must be replaced after 50 autoclaving cycles.
 Never store aerosol-tight rotors or buckets closed.
The aerosol tightness of rotors, rotor lids, buckets and caps has been tested and certified according to Annex AA of IEC 61010-2-020

Switching off the centrifuge

1. Open the centrifuge lid.
Residual moisture can evaporate.
2. Remove rotor lids from fixed-angle rotors.
Aerosol-tight accessories may not be stored with the lid closed.
3. Switch off the centrifuge using the mains/power switch.
