3.5.4 Extreme strain on the centrifuging tubes
CAUTION! Risk of injury from overloaded tubes.
 Note the loading limits specified by the tube manufacturer.
 Only use tubes which are approved by the manufacturer for the required rcf.
NOTICE! Risk from damaged tubes.
Damaged tubes must not be used, as this could cause further damage to the device and the
accessories and loss of the samples.
 Before use, visually check all of the tubes for damage.
NOTICE! Risk from open tube lids.
Open tube lids can brake off during centrifugation and damage the rotor and the centrifuge.
 Carefully seal all tube lids before centrifuging.
Exception: Note the information on the centrifugation of spin columns in the rotor
FA-45-24-11-Kit (see p. 34).
NOTICE! Hazard to plastic tubes from organic solvents.
The density of plastic tubes is reduced when organic solvents (e.g., phenol, chloroform) are
used, i.e. the tubes could become damaged.
 Observe the manufacturer's specifications for chemical resistance of the tubes.
NOTICE! Sample tubes heat up.
In uncooled centrifuges, the temperature in the rotor chamber, rotor and sample can increase
to above 40 °C, based on the run time, g-force (rcf)/speed and ambient temperature.
 Note that this can reduce the centrifugation resistance of the sample tubes.
 Please note the temperature resistance of the samples.
