3.5.5 Aerosol-tight centrifugation
3.6 Safety instructions located on the device
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. For fixed-angle rotors the labeling always begins with FA, swing-bucket rotors are
labeled with AT (aerosol tight).
The aerosol-tight rotors and rotor lids of this centrifuge are additionally marked with a red ring on
the rotor and a red rotor lid screw.
 For aerosol-tight centrifugation, always simultaneously use rotors and rotor lids which are
marked as aerosol-tight in the centrifuge intended for the corresponding purpose. The details
specifying in which centrifuge you may use the aerosol-tight rotors and rotor lids can be found
on the rotor and, beginning from production date of October 2003, on the upper side of the
rotor lid.
 Only use aerosol-tight rotor lids in combination with rotors which are marked on the rotor lid.
 Only use aerosol-tight rotors/buckets with the corresponding rotor lids/caps.
WARNING!
Health hazard from limited aerosol-tightness due to incorrect use.
Autoclaving, mechanical stresses and contamination by chemicals or other aggressive solvents
can impair the aerosol-tightness of the rotors and rotor lid.
 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.
 Thinly brush the threads of the rotor lid screw with pivot grease (order no. Int. 5810 350.050,
North America 022634330). Do not apply the pivot grease to the seals.
 Replace aerosol-tight rotor lids and caps after 50autoclaving cycles.
 For QuickLock rotor lids, the seal must be replaced after 50 autoclaving cycles.
 Never store aerosol-tight rotors or buckets closed.
