Weekly
Cleaning and care
•
In order to prevent corrosion and material changes, rotors and accessories must be cleaned regularly with soap or a
mild detergent and a damp cloth. Cleaning is recommended at least once a week. Contaminants must be removed
immediately.
•
Ingredients of suitable detergents: soap, anionic tensides, non-ionic tensides.
•
After using detergents, remove detergent residue by rinsing with water (only outside of the centrifuge) or wipe off
with a damp cloth.
•
The rotors and accessories must be dried directly after cleaning.
•
Angle rotors, container and hanger made of aluminium are to be lightly greased after drying using acid-free grease,
e.g. vaseline.
•
In the case of biosafety systems (for further details of available biosafety systems see chapter "Anhang/Appendix,
Rotoren und Zubehör/Rotors and accessories"), the packing rings must be checked and cleaned regularly (weekly).The
sealing ring is to be replaced immediately upon indication of crack formation, embrittlement or abrasive wear. In order
to prevent the packing ring from twisting when opening and closing the cover, the packing ring must be lightly rubbed
with talcum powder or a rubber care product.
•
In order to prevent corrosion as a result of moisture between the rotor and the motor shaft, the rotor should be
disassembled and cleaned at least once a month, and the motor shaft should be lightly greased.
•
The rotors and the accessory parts have to be checked on a monthly basis for wear and corrosion.
For swing-out rotors, it is important to check the area of the lifting lugs, for hangers, the grooves and the base
o
should be checked for cracks.
Rotors and attachments may no longer be utilised upon indication of wear and tear or corrosion.
o
•
Check the firm seating of the rotor on a weekly basis.
Surface cleaning and care
•
Clean the centrifuge housing and the centrifuging chamber regularly, using soap or a mild detergent and a damp cloth
if required.
•
Ingredients of suitable detergents: soap, anionic tensides, non-ionic tensides.
•
After using detergents, remove the detergent residue by wiping with a damp cloth.
•
The surfaces must be dried immediately after cleaning.
•
In the event of condensation water formation, dry the centrifugal chamber by wiping out with an absorbent cloth.
•
Lightly rub the rubber seal of the centrifuge chamber with talcum powder or a rubber care product after each cleaning.
•
The centrifuging chamber is to be checked for damage once a year.
Trunnions
With swing-out rotors the trunnions must be regularly lubricated (Hettich Lubricating Grease No. 4051) in order to ensure
consistent swinging out of the hangers.
