7.3

Cleaning of centrifuge after breakage of glass tubes/glass bottles

With high g-values, there is a possibility that tube breakage will occur. Should this

happen, the centrifuge, rotor, buckets, adapters and the rotor chamber must be

thoroughly cleaned and all broken particles removed immediately.

If this is not done, they could scratch the protective coating of the rotor.

If the rotor chamber has not been properly cleaned, this will produce a fine black

dust which can cause significant damage to the centrifuge chamber, rotor, buckets

and the samples.

7.4

Disinfection

If, for example through tube breakage, infectious material is spilled into the

centrifuge, the rotor and the rotor chamber should be disinfected !!!

Rotor is autoclavable.

Rotor is autoclavable. Rotor and rotor chamber should then be treated with a

neutral disinfection agent, for example: 10% bleach solution. A disinfectant spray

should be used to thoroughly clean the chamber, rotor, adapters etc..
