Decontamination
For general radioactive decontamination, use a solu-
tion of equal parts of 70% ethanol, 10% SDS and wa-
ter. Follow this with ethanol rinses, then de-ionized
water rinses, and dry with a soft absorbent cloth. Dis-
pose of all washing solutions in appropriate radioactive
waste containers!
Autoclaving
Check whether autoclaving is permitted!
You may autoclave the rotor, rotor lid and the adapters
at 121 °C.
Maximum permissible autoclaving cycle:
20 minutes at 121 °C.
For safety reasons, the plastic
rotors and rotor lids must only
be subjected to a maximum of 20
autoclaving cycles!
The rotor must be cleaned and rinsed with distilled
water before being autoclaved. Remove the rotor lid,
the centrifuge tubes and the adapters. Place plastic
rotors on an even surface to avoid deformation.
Chemical additives to the steam are not
permitted.
Never exceed the maximum permis-
sible values for autoclaving tem-
perature and autoclaving time.
Should the rotor show signs of wear
or corrosion, you must stop using
it!
