Cleaning; Autoclaving - Getinge Applikon my-Control Hardware Manual

5.3.5 CLEANING

The valve should be cleaned immediately after completing the fermentation or cultivation.
Flush the valve with sterile demineralized and filtered (0.45 micron) water with ON time = 5000 ms and OFF
time = 10 ms.
Flush the valve for at least 10 minutes.

5.3.6 AUTOCLAVING

The micro valve is autoclavable at a temperature of approx. 121
The valve remains on the reactor top plate during autoclaving. The
connector on the micro valve control cable can withstand steam but
prolonged contact with water (e.g. at bottom of autoclave) must be
avoided.
Wrap the micro valve cable around the auxiliaries in order to avoid
contact with water in the autoclave.
In case of doubt, some foil can be wrapped around the connector.
Before connecting the micro valve cable to the output cable
of the my-Control, make sure that the connector of the
micro valve is dry!
