7.2 Sterilization and Disinfection of the Rotor Chamber and
Accessories
• Use commercially-available disinfectants such as, for example, Sagrotan
®
,
Buraton
®
, or Terralin
®
(available at chemist’s shops or drugstores).
• The centrifuges and the accessories consist of various materials. A possible
incompatibility must be considered.
• Before using cleaning or decontamination agents that were not
recommended by us, contact the manufacturer to ensure that such a
procedure will not damage the centrifuge.
• For autoclaving, consider the continuous heat resistance of the individual
materials (see
7.2.1 “Autoclaving“, page 51). Please contact us if you have
any queries (see
6.2.7 "Service Contact", page 46).
If dangerous materials (e.g. infectious and pathogenic substances) are
used, the centrifuge and accessories must be disinfected.
