CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Rotor Chamber
CAUTION
Do not pour any solution such as water, detergent or disinfectant directly into
the rotor chamber. Otherwise, the bearings of the drive unit may become
corroded or deteriorate.
To defrost the chamber:
1. Install a rotor and close the chamber door.
2. Set the RUN temperature switch for 25 degrees C.
3. Run the centrifuge until the frost melts.
4. When defrosting is complete, wipe the chamber dry with a damp sponge or
cloth.
Note
To prevent condensation from forming in the rotor chamber, keep the
chamber door closed when the chamber is cold.
When cleaning the rotor chamber, use the appropriate solution followed by
several deionized water rinses:
Routine Cleaning Wash the rotor chamber with a mild non-alkaline dishwashing liquid, then rinse
and dry with a soft absorbent cloth.
Disinfection 70% ethanol (also use for the rubber door seal).
General Radioactive A solution of equal parts 70% ethanol, 10% SDS, and water, followed by ethanol
Decontamination rinses, then deionized water. Dry with a soft absorbent cloth. Dispose of all
wash solutions in proper radioactive waste containers.
