Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Decontamination
CAUTION
Be careful not to spill liquid on the instrument where electrical or mechanical
components could get damaged.
Rotor Chamber
The rotor chamber is coated with epoxy resin paint. To clean the chamber, wipe it with a cloth
dampened with a mild detergent, such as Beckman Solution 555.
Chamber Door O-ring
The chamber door O-ring is Buna N rubber. Clean it with a tissue or soft cloth every 3 or 4 months.
If the O-ring becomes worn or damaged, replace it. Lightly coat the new O-ring with silicone vacuum
grease (335148) to ensure an optimum vacuum seal.
NOTE
Instrument O-rings have not been designed as bioseals for aerosol containment.
Decontamination
If the instrument and/or accessories are contaminated with radioactive or pathogenic solutions,
follow appropriate decontamination procedures as determined by your laboratory safety officer.
Refer to Chemical Resistances (publication IN-175), or contact Beckman Coulter Field Service to
ensure that the decontamination method does not damage any part of the instrument (or
accessories).
Sterilization and Disinfection
WARNING
While Beckman Coulter has tested these methods and found that they do not
damage the instrument, no guarantee of sterility or disinfection is expressed or
implied. When sterilization or disinfection is a concern, consult your laboratory
safety officer regarding proper methods.
The top working surface is finished with urethane paint. The sides are finished with general
purpose paint. You can use Ethanol (70%) on both these surfaces.
