SAFETY HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Balancing Loads: Always balance tubes by weight (not just number). Opposing tubes must have the same weight ±0.1-0.5 grams. Imbalance causes damage, inaccurate results, and potential injury.
Tube Compatibility: Use only tubes rated for the speed and RCF generated; tubes may explode if exceeded.
Rotor Inspection: Inspect rotors regularly for corrosion, cracks, or white deposits (aluminum corrosion). Replace immediately if damaged.
Overloading: Never exceed rotor's maximum rated speed or sample volume.
Biohazard Safety: Use sealed rotors or sealed tubes for infectious samples. Clean spills immediately.
Lid Lock: Never attempt to open the lid while is rotor spinning; wait for complete stop.
Temperature-Sensitive Samples: Use refrigerated model or pre-chill rotor for temperature-sensitive applications.
Training: Only trained personnel should operate centrifuges.
Chemical Resistance: Ensure tubes and rotors are compatible with chemicals used (organic solvents may damage plastics).

2. FIRST AID MEASURES

Tube Breakage During Run: Stop centrifuge immediately. Do not open the lid for 30 minutes to allow aerosol settling. Wear PPE and carefully remove broken tube fragments. Disinfect rotor and bowl thoroughly.
Chemical Spill: Follow chemical spill protocol; use appropriate PPE and absorbent materials.
Biohazard Spill: Contain with absorbent material; disinfect area with 10% bleach solution; dispose as biohazard waste.
Eye Contact with Contents: Flush eyes with copious water for 15 minutes; seek medical attention.
Electrical Malfunction: Disconnect power; do not use until serviced.

3. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

Flammability: Electrical components and plastic parts combustible.
Extinguishing Media: For electrical fire, use CO₂ or dry chemical (Class C) extinguisher; water may be used for surrounding materials.
Power Off: Disconnect power if safe to do so.
