Do not immerse the instrument in liquid or pour liquids over it.
Before cleaning or maintenance, always isolate and disconnect the power supply
to eliminate the risk of electric shock.
Do not use any volatile chemicals such as alcohol, benzene, acetone, and etc.
Liquids must not come into contact with the motor.
Always use a soft lint-free cloth and non-corrosive, neutral cleaning agents with
pH value 6-8 to clean all parts. Rinse thoroughly with distilled water and dry
completely.
Rotor 10.1
Preparation for the cleaning
o Remove any rotor adapters and tubes from the rotor prior to cleaning.
o Remove the rotor securing nut from the motor shaft by turning counterclockwise,
o To remove the rotor from the motor shaft, carefully lift the rotor directly upward in a
straight vertical motion.
Keep the rotor clean and dry at the end of each work day, and immediately after any spill.
Periodically inspect the rotor for dents, dings, scratches, discoloration and cracks. If any of
these signs are evident, discontinue use and replace the rotor immediately.
Always use non-metallic, soft brush to wash rotors to prevent corrosion that can emanate
from scratches.
Remove adapters after use and inspect for corrosion.
Alternatively, the rotor and the rotor lid can be cleaning in an autoclave.
Centrifuge body (External surfaces and the Chamber) 10.2
All parts should be wiped down periodically to prevent corrosives or contaminants from
drying on component surfaces.
In case of glass tube breakage, all parts must be thoroughly cleaned and all broken particles
must be removed immediately.
