1 Product description

The rotors FA-45-48-11, FA-45-20-17 and FA-45-6-30 are aerosol-tight fixed-angle rotors for

Centrifuge 5804/5804 R/5810/5810 R.

WARNING! Risk to health due to limited aerosol tightness with incorrect rotor/

rotor lid combination.

Aerosol-tight centrifugation is guaranteed only if the rotors and rotor lids intended for

this purpose are used. The designation of aerosol-tight fixed-angle rotors always

starts with FA.The aerosol-tight rotors and rotor lids of this centrifuge are additionally

marked with a red ring on the rotor and a red rotor lid screw.

 For aerosol-tight centrifugation, always simultaneously use rotors and rotor lids

which are marked as aerosol-tight in the centrifuge intended for the corresponding

purpose. The details specifying in which centrifuge you may use the aerosol-tight

rotors and rotor lids can be found on the rotor and, beginning from production

date of October 2003, on the upper side of the rotor lid.

 Only use aerosol-tight rotor lids in combination with rotors which are marked on

the rotor lid.

WARNING! Damage to health as a result of limited aerosol tightness and incorrect

usage.

Autoclaving, mechanical stresses and contamination by chemicals or other aggressive

solvents can impair the aerosol-tightness of the rotors and rotor lids.

 Check the integrity of the seals of the aerosol-tight rotor lids or caps before each

use.

 Only use aerosol-tight rotor lids or caps if the seals are undamaged and clean.

 Lightly grease the threads of the rotor lid screw with pivot grease after every

proper autoclaving (121 °C, 20 min.) (int. order no. Int. 5810 350.050, North

America 022634330).

 Replace aerosol-tight rotor lids and caps after 50 autoclaving cycles.

 For QuickLock rotor lids, the seal must be replaced after 50 autoclaving cycles.

 Never store aerosol-tight rotors or buckets closed.
