4. Setup
- Spakkjar: Carefully remove the tubes from their sterile packaging. Ensure the packaging is intact upon receipt.
- Spezzjoni: Visually inspect each tube for any signs of damage, cracks, or manufacturing defects before use. Do not use damaged tubes.
- Preparazzjoni: If sterility is critical, handle tubes in a sterile environment (e.g., laminar flow hood) using aseptic techniques.
5. Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi
- Mili: Żid tiegħek sample to the tube. Use the printed graduations to accurately measure the desired volume. Avoid overfilling beyond the maximum capacity to prevent spillage or leakage.
- Capping: Securely screw the cap onto the tube. Ensure the cap is finger-tight to create a leak-proof seal, especially if the tube will be inverted or centrifuged.
- Tikkettjar: Use the large white writing patch to clearly label the tube with sample information, date, and any other relevant details. Use laboratory-grade markers that will not smudge or fade.
- Ċentrifugazzjoni: If centrifuging, ensure the tube is properly balanced in the centrifuge rotor. Do not exceed the maximum RCF of 1800 x g. Refer to your centrifuge manual for specific operating instructions.
- Ħażna: Aħżen samples in the tubes according to your experimental requirements (e.g., refrigeration, freezing). Ensure caps remain securely closed during storage.
6. Manutenzjoni
These Falcon tubes are designed for single-use applications and are supplied sterile. They are not intended for cleaning and re-use, as this can compromise their sterility, structural integrity, and performance characteristics.
- Ħażna: Store unused tubes in their original packaging in a clean, dry environment at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
- Rimi: Dispose of used tubes and their contents in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations for laboratory waste.
7 Issolvi l-problemi
- Tnixxija: If leakage occurs, ensure the cap is securely tightened. Check for any damage to the tube or cap threads. Do not reuse leaking tubes.
- Tube Breakage: Ensure the maximum RCF is not exceeded during centrifugation. Verify that the centrifuge rotor is balanced correctly. Polystyrene tubes are generally not recommended for very high-speed centrifugation or use with certain organic solvents that may compromise their integrity.
- Kontaminazzjoni: If contamination is suspected, verify that aseptic techniques were followed during handling and that the sterile packaging was intact prior to use.
