INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Refrain from using any other cleaning or decontamination procedure than
those recommended here, if you are not entirely sure that the intended
procedure is safe for the equipment.
Use only approved cleansers.
If in doubt, contact VWR.

4.3 CLEANING THE ROTOR

The rotor and accessories must be regularly cleaned to prevent contamination and corrosion
caused by residue. Check the rotor and the centrifuge housing monthly. This applies in particular
to the rotor bores. For cleaning the rotor use a neutral cleaning liquid. This will protect the rotor
and extend its service life.
Do not use damaged rotors and accessories for centrifugation!
To avoid the damage to the rotor, replace the sealing rings regularly.

4.4 ROTOR STERILIZATION

The rotors are autoclavable at 121 °C, for 20 minutes. After the rotor has been autoclaved for a
maximum of twenty times, seals of the rotor must be replaced (this is valid for rotors with seals).

4.5 SHIPPING

Before shipping the centrifuge, please bear the following in mind:
The centrifuge must be clean and decontaminated.
The decontamination must be confirmed with a decontamination certificate. Contact customer
service for more details.
