Yingtai: Safety Emergency Measures for Centrifuge Overspeed

Centrifuge overspeed can result in equipment damage, safety risks, and experimental failure. Therefore, it is crucial to take immediate safety measures when a centrifuge operates beyond its intended speed.  

Power Off Immediately

If overspeed is detected, immediately disconnect the power supply to stop the centrifuge. This is the most effective way to prevent further damage.  

Close the Centrifuge Lid  

If the centrifuge lid is open, close it immediately to prevent any potentially hazardous substances from being ejected.  

Notify Relevant Personnel  

Inform other laboratory personnel about the incident immediately, advising them to stay away from the centrifuge to avoid potential harm.  

Inspect the Equipment  

After ensuring safety, inspect the centrifuge for visible damage or leaks. If any are found, clean up the area and report the issue to the appropriate department.  

Record the Incident  

Document the incident, including the time, location, cause, and measures taken. This information is valuable for future equipment maintenance and improvement.  

By powering off, securing the centrifuge lid, notifying personnel, inspecting the equipment, and recording the incident, you can minimize losses and prevent similar incidents in the future.
