2
Examine the chamber gasket to make sure that no glass particles are retained in it.
a. Carefully remove any glass particles that may remain.
3
Carefully wipe away any glass particles that remain in the chamber.

Decontamination

If the instrument and/or accessories are contaminated with radioactive or pathogenic solutions,
perform all appropriate safety and decontamination procedures. Refer to Chemical Resistances
(publication IN-175) to be sure the decontamination method will not damage any part of the
instrument

Sterilization and Disinfection

Ethanol (70%) may be used to clean any exterior surface of the centrifuge. See Chemical Resistances
(publication IN-175) for chemical resistances of centrifuge and accessory materials. For this
centrifuge refer to the PET column in the chemical resistances chart for the plastic surfaces and the
polyurethane paint column for the painted metal surfaces.
CAUTION
Ethanol is a flammability hazard. Do not use it in or near operating centrifuges.
While Beckman Coulter has tested ethanol (70%) and found that it does not damage the centrifuge,
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 to use.

Replacing the Air Filter

1
Check the air filter regularly and replace it about once a year, or more often if it looks dirty.
The air filter is not fastened to the centrifuge, so no tools are required for removal or
installation.
