SAFETY NOTICES
1. If the centrifuge, rotor, or an accessory is contaminated by samples that are toxic or
radioactive, or blood samples that are pathogenic or infectious, be sure to decontaminate
the item according to good laboratory procedures and methods.
2. If there is a possibility that the centrifuge, rotor, or an accessory is contaminated by
samples that might impair human health (for example, samples that are toxic or radioactive,
or blood samples that are pathogenic or infectious), it is your responsibility to sterilize or
decontaminate the centrifuge, rotor, or the accessory properly before requesting repairs
from a Hitachi Koki authorized sales/service representative.
3. It is your responsibility to sterilize and/or decontaminate the centrifuge, rotor, or parts
properly before returning them to a Hitachi Koki authorized sales/service representative.
Unspecified repairs, remodeling or disassembly of the centrifuge that is not listed in Table
5-1 is strictly prohibited by any person other than a Hitachi Koki authorized sales/service
representative. (Section5-1)
Before changing the power voltage by manually selecting desired tapping on the internal
transformer, turn off power to the ultracentrifuge, then unplug the power cord from the wall
outlet. Changing the voltage without doing so exposes you to the possibility of electrical
shock. (Chapter6)
Your ultracentrifuge must be grounded properly. (Chapter6)
Do not touch the power cord with wet hands to avoid electrical shocks. (Chapter6)
Do not hold the cord when disconnecting the power cord from the receptacle. Hold the plug
when disconnecting it. (Chapter6)
3.Indication of
CAUTION
R28SA,RPS27-2,RPS27-3,RPS25,RPS25-2,
RPS25-3rotor,etc. are not available to this centrifuge.
As shown in the right figure, each of these rotors
includes the pin portion(the detector to exceeding
the speed).
Never use these rotors,otherwise the pin portion
may touch the bottom of the rotor chamber when
the rotor is rotating,and it may cause the rotor
chamber damage.
After many years of use, there will be inevitably some corrosion or stress corrosion.
At some points, the combination of such damage and metal fatigue could make the
rotor vulnerable to a failure.
Although a rotor may appear to be in a good condition, you should follow the rotor
retirement recommendation (see the rotor instruction manual). (Section2-2-4)
