  • Sample Splash: If biological sample splashes, disinfect area immediately with appropriate disinfectant.
  • Imbalance Shutdown: If imbalance shutdown occurs, rebalance rotor equally, restart centrifuge.

3. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

  • Flammability: Plastic components are combustible; electrical components present fire risk.
  • Extinguishing Media: Use carbon dioxide or dry chemical extinguisher for electrical fires.
  • Fire Response: Unplug centrifuge immediately; do not use water on electrical fire.
