6.2. Cleaning the Centrifuge
Always keep the centrifuge housing, rotor chamber, rotor and rotor
accessories clean. All parts should be wiped down periodically with a
soft cloth. For more thorough cleaning, use a neutral cleaning agent
(pH between 6 and 8) applied with a soft cloth. Excessive amounts of
liquid should be avoided. Liquid should not come into contact with the
motor. After cleaning, ensure that all parts are dried thoroughly by
hand or in a warm air cabinet ( Maximum temperature: 50°C).
6.3. Cleaning the Rotor
The rotor should be cleaned after each use. When spinning samples
containing phenol or phenol chloroform, the rotor should be cleaned
immediately after use
6.4. Disinfection
Should a spill of infectious materials occur within the rotor or chamber,
the unit should be disinfected. This should be performed by qualified
personnel with proper protective equipment.
6.5. Replacing the Rotor
The Prism R comes complete with a standard 24-place rotor installed.
To remove the rotor, remove the rotor securing screw from the motor
shaft by turning the screw, using the rotor wrench on two holes of the
securing screw (Please refer Figure 1). Lift the rotor directly upward in
a straight vertical motion.
