Fig. 1 Rotor
To ensure a proper swinging movement of the buckets,
clean all 8 trunnions of the rotor.
Fig. 2 Trunnions
Remove the leftover grease and dust.
Apply a thin layer of food quality grease (provided).
Also clean the buckets, more specifically the area in contact
with the trunnions.
Make sure to set the “greasing reminder” in the User Preferences menu.
To prolong the life of accessories, you can then place a thin film of silicone spray or lanolin.
Rotors, buckets, inserts can be autoclaved at 122.5 ° C / 252 ° F / 215 kPa for 15 minutes
Note:
When autoclaving, buckets, inserts, and rotors must be separated from each other.
Autoclaving causes accelerated aging of plastics, and may change the color of the plastic.
Perform regular cleaning to prevent any risk of corrosion in case of persistent impurity,
and to ensure the hygiene conditions of working equipment.
7.1.4 Disinfection / Decontamination
Bio hazardous, radioactive and/or toxic materials:
Before any intervention, to ensure the safety of the operator, please refer to the laboratory’s decontamination
protocol. The centrifuge and its accessories may be contaminated and require remediation in this case.
