Disinfection
Disinfect the centrifuge immediately whenever infectious material has
spilled during centrifuging.

The rotor chamber and the rotor should be treated preferably with a
neutral disinfectant. A disinfectant spray would be most suitable for this
purpose so that the rotor and accessory surfaces are covered evenly.
Contact the service department of Thermo Fisher Scientific for
questions regarding the use of other disinfectants!
Disinfect the rotor and accessories as follows:
1. Turn off the centrifuge.
2. Pull out the power supply plug.
3. Grab the rotor handle with both hands and press against the green

disinfectant (spray or soak in solution). Adhere strictly to the given
application times!
