Contamination
Thermo Fisher Scientific
Chapter 6
All cleaning operations should be performed with the centrifuge
disconnected from the power outlet. L
No daily cleaning is required, except in the case of accidental tube
breakage, or when there is a large amount of spillage in the bowl.
Daily
Weekly
Clean the bowl and the accessories with a cotton wool pad dipped in
70% alcohol.
Never use metallic brushes to clean accessories.
•
After cleaning the accessories, rinse them in running water,
preferably distilled water.
•
Dry the rotor with a soft absorbent non-woven cloth or tissue.
Drying may be finished off with a warm air jet (e.g. a hair dryer).
•
Make sure that the pockets are well dried.
•
Ideally, spray with Anti-Corrosion Spray (Cat N° 11175399)
•
Store unused buckets upside down on a non-metallic grid to allow
free passage of air.
The centrifuge is likely to be used in medical research where hazardous
substances, including radioactive chemicals, are frequently found.
Hazards
ALWAYS USE THE APPROPRIATE DECONTAMINATION
PROCEDURES WHEN THE ROTOR IS EXPOSED TO THESE
CHEMICALS. L
Examples of commonly used techniques are outlined below. The
information is given as a guideline only.
It is the responsibility of the owner to use the most suitable procedure.
If decontamination procedures require the use of warming (i.e.
autoclave) the rotating equipment should always be completely
disassembled before being subjected to heat and after external chemical
cleaning.
Seals should be decontaminated with the method most suitable for
them.
