  • Sample Splash: If biological sample splashes, disinfect area immediately with appropriate disinfectant (e.g., 70% ethanol, bleach solution).
  • Imbalance Shutdown: If imbalance shutdown occurs, rebalance rotor equally, restart centrifuge.
  • Power Failure: If power fails during operation, allow rotor to stop naturally before opening lid.

3. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

  • Flammability: Plastic and electronic components may burn.
  • Extinguishing Media: Use carbon dioxide or dry chemical extinguisher for electrical fires.
