Precautions for Use
Do not use centrifuge near sources of strong electromagnetic radiation
Secure all electrical devices in the laboratory with a UPS double conversion (see related articles below). To define the best sizing of the UPS, contact your biomedical or energy referent.
Maintenance
Clean the centrifuge according to instructions in the maintenance section of the user manual.
Service life of rotor: 100 000 cycles (approx. 7 years).
Storage
- Temperature between -5ºC and 45ºC
- Relative humidity: 10 % - 75 %
MSF requirements
Basic model centrifuge. Essential in a reference laboratory.
In TB or HIV laboratories, it is used to perform molecular testing.
