 During centrifugation, the presences of people are prohibited within 30 cm around the centrifuge according to
the regulations of EN 61010-2-020.
 FC5706 is not explosion-proof and must therefore not be operated in explosion-endangered areas or locations.

tubes with missing or defective hermetic sealing is strictly prohibited. The user is obliged to perform appropriate
disinfection procedures in case dangerous substances have contaminated the centrifuge and or its accessories.
When centrifuging infectious substances, always pay attention to the general laboratory precautions. If
necessary, contact your safety officer!
