Abstract
A dynamic microbiological test has been used to assess the safety of sealed containers for use in laboratory centrifuges. When 26 models of containers (buckets or rotors) were examined 27% failed to contain aerosols. Some of the reasons for the failures are described.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
