5. Service and Maintenance

5.1 Service of centrifuge

There is no routine maintenance or service required on the centrifuge other than
occasional cleaning.

Always keep the centrifuge housing, rotor chamber, rotor and rotor accessories clean.
All parts should be wiped down periodically with a soft cloth. Do not use harsh
Cleaners or detergants on the lid or housing surfaces as it may affect the plastic. After
cleaning, ensure that all parts are dried thoroughly by hand or in a warm-air-cabinet

The centrifuge should be disinfected periodically and before shipping the unit for service.
The centrifuge rotor are and rotor shields should be wiped with alchohol or other
disinfecting agents. Do not allow the alcohol or disinfectant to sit on the units lid or
housing, as it may affect or discolor the plastic.

5.4 Cleaning the centrifuge after breakage of glass tubes or bottles

With high g-values, there is a possibility that tube breakage can occur. Should this
happen the centrifuge rotor must be thoroughly cleaned and all broken particles
removed. If this is not done, damage could result to the centrifuge. If glass or other
material has gotten into the centrifuge enclosure, the enclosure must be removed for
cleaning.
