Decontamination

Disconnect redLINE chambers from the power supply prior to decontamination. Pull the power plug.
You can use the following disinfectants:
Inner chamber Standard commercial surface disinfectants free from acid or halogenides.
Alcoholic solutions.
In case of contamination of the interior by biologically or chemically hazardous material, there are three
possible procedures depending on the type of contamination and charging material.
• The ovens RE and RF can be hot air sterilized at 190 °C / 374°F for at least 30 minutes. All
inflammable goods must be removed from the interior before.
• Spray the inner chamber with an appropriate disinfectant.
Before start-up, redLINE chambers must be absolute dry and ventilated, because explosive gases
may form during the decontamination process.
With every decontamination method, always use adequate personal safety controls.
Thoroughly remove all residues of disinfecting agents from the interior with sterile (RI), deionized water.
If necessary, ventilate the interior thoroughly.
Residual disinfecting agents.
Danger of samples being disturbed.
∅ Any residual disinfecting agents in the chamber may pollute the samples.
