3.6 Danger and precautions
To protect people and environment the following precautions should be
observed:
⚫ Do not attempt to run the centrifuge with the lid open. During centrifugation, the
presences of people are prohibited within 30 cm around the centrifuge according
to the regulations of EN 61010-2-020.
⚫ Frontier TM centrifuges are not explosion-proof and must therefore not be operated
in explosion-endangered areas or locations. Centrifugation of flammable,
explosive, radioactive, or such substances, which chemically react with high
energy, is strictly prohibited. The final decision on the risks associated with the
use of such substances is the responsibility of the user of the centrifuge.
⚫ Never spin toxic or pathogenic material without adequate safety precautions, i.e.
centrifugation of buckets / tubes with missing or defective hermetic sealing is
strictly prohibited. The user is obliged to perform appropriate disinfection
procedures in case dangerous substances have contaminated the centrifuge and
or its accessories. When centrifuging infectious substances, always pay attention
to the general laboratory precautions. If necessary, contact your safety officer!
⚫ It is prohibited to run the centrifuge with rotors other than listed for this unit.
⚫ Under no circumstances open the lid of the centrifuge while the rotor is still
running or rotating with a speed of > 2m/s.
