use poor quality goods. Breaking glass or bursting vessels can
cause dangerous situations during freeze-drying.

moved. Leaning against or resting on the freeze-dryer is not
allowed.

vessels containing liquids, near the freeze-dryer.
10. Products which could react to the supply of high energy during
the freeze-drying process must not be dried.
11. Do not freeze-dry explosive or highly inflammable substances.
12. Infectious, toxic, pathogenic and radioactive substances must
only be dried in suitable vessels.
