contamination of centrifuges

[Lee T L William <mcbleew@leonis.nus.sg>]

hi,

i'm new to radsaf and i would like to know if there are concerns/standard
practices with regards to the internal contamination of table centrifuges,
such as the eppendorf centrifuges.

i perform swab tests for the lab and sometimes find readings over 10
000 cpm on a lsc especially for centrifuges used with p32 and s35. any
advice will be appreciated. thks!
