7.1.2 Accessories
For the care of the accessories, special safety measures must be
considered as these are measures that will ensure operational safety at the
same time.
• Immediately rinse off the rotor, buckets, or accessories if any liquids that may
cause corrosion come into contact with them.
• Clean the accessories outside the centrifuge once a week or preferably after
each use. Rubber cushions should be removed.
• If the rotors or accessories have been contaminated with toxic, radioactive, or
pathogenic substances, clean them immediately with a suitable
decontamination agent (depending on the type of contamination). Take
suitable precautions for your own safety if there is a risk of toxic,
radioactive, or pathogenic contamination.
• Dry the accessories with a soft cloth or in a drying chamber at approx. 50°C.
7.1.2.1 Plastic Accessories
• If solvents, acids, or alkaline solutions have been used, clean the plastic
accessories thoroughly. The chemical resistance of plastic decreases with
rising temperatures (e.g. during drying).
7.1.2.2 Aluminum Accessories
Especially aluminum parts are susceptible to corrosion.
• Acid-containing cleaning agents and alkaline cleaning agents must be
avoided (see
7.1 "Cleaning and Care", page 47).
• Grease aluminum parts at least once a week with slushing oil (part no.
70104).
This essentially increases their service life and reduces susceptibility to
corrosion.
