Thus the risk of the spread of aerosols is significant in a ventilated centrifuge. In the case of samples presenting a biological or chemical risk, the operator must take suitable precautions to prevent or reduce this risk. Thermo Electron Corporation CL40 - FL40... - Page 42 When an elevated risk of aerosols or of breakage is perceived the accessories should be handled using gloves and opened in an environment ensuring the protection of the operator (safety cabinet, glove chamber, wearing a mask ...), even if they are apparently sealed. ▲ CL40 - FL40 Thermo Electron Corporation...

Page 43: Service And Maintenance
If decontamination procedures require the use of warming (i.e. autoclave) the rotating equipment should always be completely disassembled before being subjected to heat and after external chemical cleaning. Seals should be decontaminated with the method most suitable for them. Thermo Electron Corporation CL40 - FL40... -
Page 44: Disinfection
Rotors may be decontaminated by a mixture of equal volumes of: • Distilled water, • SDS diluted to 10%, • Ethanol diluted to 70%. The rotor should then be rinsed with ethanol followed by distilled water and then dried completely. CL40 - FL40 Thermo Electron Corporation... -
Page 45: Power Supply Circuit Breaker
If the centrifuge is having imbalance problems, try this operation before calling Thermo service. In many cases, imbalance problems arise due to the fact that poorly maintained bucket-trunnion interfaces prevent the buckets from swinging freely. ▲ Thermo Electron Corporation CL40 - FL40... -
