Approved Cultivation Vessels

The device is not protected against explosions. Use and manufac-
■
ture of explosive gases as well as operating the device in the Ex
area are therefore not permitted.
The device is not designed to sufficiently protect the personnel if
■
pathogenic organisms escape uncontrollably. Cultivation of patho-
genic organisms of risk categories 3 and 4 is therefore not per-
mitted.
To use the device for special applications not covered by conven-
tional, intended use, the device must be modified and certified
accordingly by the manufacturer.
Any use of the device outside of a biotechnology laboratory, i.e. in
any environment in which the conditions required for the safety of the
personnel cannot be met or cannot be met to their full extent, shall
also be deemed misuse.
NOTICE
Significant forces are applied to cultivation vessels, in particular in
case of large vessels and high rotation speeds. Use of unsuitable or
defective cultivation vessels can lead to glass breakage and there-
fore damage to property.
The device has been designed for use with the following vessels using
the holders designed specifically for them:
Erlenmeyer flasks up to 5000 mL made of borosilicate glass (e.g.
■
Schott Duran ) or high-grade plastic, such as polycarbonate (e.g.
®
Corning ) etc.
®
Fernbach flasks up to 3000 mL made of borosilicate glass (e.g.
■
Schott Duran ) or high-grade plastic, such as polycarbonate (e.g.
®
Corning ) etc.
®
Other vessels with the holders designed for them:
■
– Test tubes
– Centrifuge tubes
–
Microtitre plates
–
Deep-well plates
To avoid the vessels coming out of the clamps at very high rotation
speeds, they might have to be secured using cable ties underneath
the springs or some other suitable measure.
