Here are some more information for Lab Centrifuge:

Refurbished Refrigerated Centrifuges

Refrigerated centrifuges are widely used in laboratories for centrifugation of temperature sensitive materials for various clinical applications. Usually these devices demand huge investments, which can be easily avoided by using refurbished products, instead.

Advanced Features for General Purpose Applications

Most of the refrigerated centrifuges are designed to serve all general purpose applications in the lab. These are instruments used in separating substances varying in densities. As medical professionals greatly value the accuracy and consistency of the results, these products are designed and developed with lots of advanced features capable of delivering precise results.

Self-centering drive, programmable operation, braking system, built-in timer, advanced micro-processor control, and rotor management system are some of the common features for all refrigerated centrifuges that help in delivering error free results.

Maintain Quality and Reduce Expenses with Refurbished Refrigerated Centrifuges

Quality and costs of the lab equipment they purchase are always a matter of concern for most of the medical professionals. When people go for refurbished refrigerated centrifuges, their quality is always questioned. The refrigerated centrifuges to be refurbished are the products returned after a certain period of use, due to some defects.

On receiving these instruments, the manufacturers or dealers examine them thoroughly, and pass them through different processes of refurbishment including disassembly, painting, replacement, repair, reassembly, quality control, cleaning and packaging. This ensures that the products function like new after refurbishment.

As refurbished ones are used products, they cannot be sold at the prices of new centrifuges. So they can be bought at a fraction of the cost of newer ones. Hence, purchasing refurbished refrigerated centrifuges can reduce your additional lab expenses.

Purchase Popular Models from Reliable Dealers

Beckman, Sorvall and IEC are popular manufacturers supplying top quality refrigerated centrifuges. IEC Centra 7R, Sorvall RC-3C Plus, and Sorvall RC-28S are the most sought after models for various centrifuging applications. Their refurbished models can be purchased from any reliable dealers.

Phenol-Chloroform Extraction Safety?

I read the MSDS on Phenol:Chloroform:IAA solution -and geez, it seems scary to work with. I worked with DNA extraction before in labs but haven't looked at the MSDS for PCI until recently.
I know MSDS often exaggerates to stay on the safe side and I don't doubt that Phenol is very caustic and chloroform enhances it, but I see more experienced workers in my lab handling it outside of the fume hood and with quite a bit of expedience (what about splashes?)
I guess my concern is:
sometimes I do get a wiff of the acrid-smelling phenol when I take it out of the fume hood and put it in the centrifuge, and once or twice I had a few droplets splash onto my wrist (not covered by lab coat or gloves), but no burns or anything like that - is this bad? Should I honestly rush myself to the hospital everytime this happen and recommend those expensive Barricade/Responder gloves for my lab?

Go and check msds.com if you know the strength of the phenol chloroform you're handling it will give you the right msds for it. I still think you should at least take the first-aid measures into consideration. As far as I know, chronic inhalation/exposure will result in health problems.
