Service life
Since 2012, Eppendorf has been stating the maximum service life of the rotors and
accessories both in years and in the maximum number of cycles. The decisive factor for
the service life is which case occurs first, usually this is the number of years in operation.
CAUTION! Risk of injury from chemically or mechanically damaged
accessories.
Even minor scratches and cracks can result in serious damage to the
accessories.
Protect all accessory parts from damage.
Inspect the accessories for damage before each use. Replace any damaged
accessories.
Do not use any rotors, rotor lids, buckets or caps showing signs of corrosion
or mechanical damage (e.g. bending).
Do not use any accessories which are past their use-by date.
When inserting the buckets and rotors, ensure that they do not become
scratched.
