Decontamination

If aluminum rotor components become contaminated with radioactive material, decontaminate
them using a solution that will not damage the anodized surfaces. Beckman Coulter has tested a
number of solutions and found two that do not harm anodized aluminum: RadCon Surface Spray or
IsoClean Solution (for soaking),
While Beckman Coulter has tested these materials and found that they do not damage components,
no guarantee of decontamination is expressed or implied. Follow appropriate decontamination
procedures as directed by your laboratory safety officer.
