Safety instructions for handling liquid nitrogen
When handling liquid nitrogen always wear protective
goggles and protective gloves.
Liquid nitrogen has a temperature of –196 °C and can
cause injury similar to burns or frostbite in contact with the
skin or eyes.
The protective goggles also protect the eyes against serious
injury through flying glass splinters resulting from bursting
of glass containers.
The MM 200 is also designed for cryogenic milling.
Please follow the safety regulations of the cooling
liquid supplier.
Retsch GmbH excludes any liability claims whatsoever
which may arise through the use of liquid nitrogen or
similar materials.
