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 and the adapters at
121 °C.
Maximum permissible autoclaving cycle: 20 min at
121 °C.
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 tempera-
ture and autoclaving time.
Should the rotor show signs of wear,
you must stop using it!
Corrosion protective oil 7000 9824 is delivered with the
centrifuge.
