（3）If some samples leaked in the rotor hole, wash the hole with water, apply a thin coat of silicon grease
on the rotor surface after drying.
（4）It is necessary for a regular maintenance for rotor, recommend to clean it each 3 months to keep
cleaning of tube hole and shaft hole, and then apply a thin coat of silicon grease on it.
11.1.4 Autoclaving
 All rotors are manufactured in high-strength aluminum alloy material or stainless still and can be autoclaved:
121℃ (1.0kg/cm2), 20 minutes.
 But some adapters are made of plastics, these adapters can be deformed after autoclaving, so you‟d better
use other disinfecting methods.
11.1.5 Bio-safe seal ring
The rotor is sealed by bio-safe structures, achieved using three high-temperature rubber seal rings. The seal
rings may fall off or aging after several autoclaving, need to be replaced or re-installed. The replacement
methods please refer to the section 9.3.
