Chemical and Biological Safety
WARNING：
Take all necessary safety measures before using samples that are toxic or
●
radioactive, or blood samples that are pathogenic or infectious. You use such
samples at your own responsibility.
Take all necessary safety measures when Risk Group Ⅱ materials (as
●
identified in the World Health Organization "Laboratory Biosafety Manual")
are handled, and that more than one level of protection shall be provided in
the case of materials of a higher group.
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.
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,
