Location and Exhaust Requirements
The CentriVap Concentrator should be located on a surface that is stable, flat and
level.
WARNING: The CentriVap System should be located within a fume hood if
hazardous or flammable solvents are used. Heating of materials could lead
to the liberation of hazardous gases. In all cases, regardless of the solvent
used, it is strongly recommended that the vacuum pump is vented in a fume
hood. An accessory secondary trap is available to minimize the exhausting of
solvents into the atmosphere. This does not, however, negate the need to
exhaust the vacuum pump into a fume hood. Failure to properly vent the
CentriVap will expose personnel to potentially harmful chemicals.
The CentriVap has not been evaluated by an approval agency for the use of
biological, radio toxins or flammable liquids or materials.
Space Requirements
Refer to Appendix B: CentriVap Dimensions for dimensional drawings of the
CentriVap DNA System.
No person or any hazardous material should be within 12 inches of the CentriVap
Concentrator while it is operating.
