5. Service and Maintenance
5.1 Centrifuge service
The brushless motor in the Prism requires no routine maintenance. Any required service
should be performed by authorized, qualified personnel only. Repairs performed by
unauthorized personnel may void the warranty.
5.2 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 50ºC)
