Rotors, buckets and round carriers can be sterilized in autoclave with temperature 121°C
during 20 min (215 kPa), unless otherwise specified in the
During sterilization (autoclaved) by means of steam one should to consider temperature
resistance of individual materials.
Deformation of the accessories (carriers or lids made of plastic) may occur during autoclaving.
Do not autoclave disposable materials (e.g. tubes, cyto-container).
The life of the accessory depends on the frequency of autoclaving and use.
Autoclaving reduce lifespan of plastic and mechanical components. PC tubes can become
useless.
Pressure in closed containers can cause plastic deformation or explosion.
Prior to autoclaving the rotors and accessories, thoroughly wash and rinse with distilled water.
Never exceed the permissible autoclaving temperature and time.
If you want to keep the hermetic seals, replace the sealing rings after each autoclave.
