It can pose risks such as mechanical failure, which may lead to spills or exposure to hazardous materials, and improper handling of samples can result in contamination or injury. Additionally, high-speed centrifuges can cause physical harm if safety protocols are not followed, such as being struck by a lid that opens unexpectedly. Always adhering to safety guidelines is crucial to minimize these risks.
