English (EN)
WARNING! Risk of contamination from damaged tubes during
centrifugation.
The tubes withstand heavy loads during centrifugation. However, they
can be destroyed and release the substances they contain if used
improperly.
Close tube lids before commencing centrifugation. Open tube lids can
break off during centrifugation and damage the centrifuge.
Always observe the maximum permitted centrifugation forces.
Read the operating manual of the centrifuge used.
Please note that organic solvents can reduce the mechanical
resistance of the tubes. If in doubt, please contact the Eppendorf
Application Support ([email protected]).
WARNING! Risk of contamination from multiple use.
The tubes are intended for single use only.
Dispose of used tubes in accordance with the substances with which
they have come into contact.
WARNING! For sterile packaging: Risk of contamination due to
limited sterility of the tubes.
Tubes are only sterile in closed packaging. After five years the shelf life
expires even in closed packaging.
Only open the packaging immediately before use.
Observe the expiry date printed on the packaging.
CAUTION! Contamination risk when disposing of used consumables.
Dispose of used consumables in accordance with the substances with
which they have come into contact.
