Clean centrifuge and accessories as follows:
1. Open the centrifuge.
2. Turn off the centrifuge.
3. Pull out the power supply plug.
4. Grasp the rotor with both hands and lift it vertically off the centrifuge spindle.
5. Remove the centrifuge tubes and adapters.
6. Use a neutral cleaning agent with a pH value between 6 and 8 for cleaning.
7. Dry all of the rotors and accessories after cleaning with a cloth or in a warm air cabinet at a
maximum temperature of 50 °C.
8. After cleaning, treat the entire surface of aluminum parts with corrosion protection oil
(70009824). Also treat the cavities with oil.
9. Treat the bolt of the swing out rotor with bolt grease (75003786).
After some applications, there might be ice in the rotor chamber. Let the ice melt and drain it off.
Clean the rotor chamber as described above.
Disinfection
Disinfect the centrifuge immediately whenever infectious material has spilled during centrifugation.
Thermo Scientific
CAUTION Before using any cleaning or decontamination methods except those
recommended by the manufacturer, users should check with the manufacturer that the
proposed method will not damage the equipment.
CAUTION When cleaning, do not allow liquids, especially organic solvents, to get on the
drive shaft or the bearings of the centrifuge.
Organic solvents break down the grease in the motor bearing. The drive shaft could freeze
up.
WARNING Infectious material can get into the centrifuge when a tube breaks or as a result
of spills. Keep in mind the risk of infection when touching the rotor and take all necessary
precautions.
In case of contamination, make sure that others are not kept at risk.
Decontaminate the affected parts immediately.
Take other precautions if needed.
