"Laboratory Biosafety Manual" of the World
Health Organization (WHO) and any local
regulations. When shaking microbiological
samples from the Risk Group II (according
to the "Laboratory Biosafety Manual" of the
World Health Organization (WHO)), aerosol-tight
biological seals have to be used. Look on the
Internet page of the World Health Organization
(www.who.int) for the "Laboratory Biosafety
Manual" . For materials in a higher risk group, extra
safety measures must be taken.
If toxins or pathogenic substances have
contaminated the shaker or its parts, appropriate
disinfection measures have to be taken
("Decontamination" on page 126;

If a hazardous situation occurs, turn off the
