Handling the rotor
22
Checking for aerosol-tightness
The checking of the rotor type and bucket was done
according to the dynamic microbiological test proce-
dure with regard to EN 61010-2-020 appendix AA.
The aerosol-tight bio-containment of the rotor mainly
depends on proper handling!
Check the aerosol-tight bio-containment
of your rotor whenever necessary!
It is very important that all the seals and
seal-surfaces are carefully inspected for
wear and damages like cracks, scratches
and embrittlement!
For a quick test one can check the fixed angle rotors
according to the following procedure:
•
Slightly grease all seals.
•
Fill the rotor with approx. 10 ml carbon dioxide
mineral water.
•
Close the rotor according to the respective han-
dling instructions.
•
Due to the shaking, the carbon dioxide of the water
is released, and an overpressure is built up. Do not
press the lid simultaneously.
•
Leaks are recognized by humidity release and
audible disinflation of gas mix.
•
In case of leakage the aerosol-seals have to be
replaced and the leakage check has to be re-
peated.
•
Dry rotor, rotor lid and lid seal.
