23.3 Autoclaving
The following accessory can be autoclaved at 121°C / 250°F (20 min):
Swing-out rotors
Angle rotors made of aluminum
Hanger made of metal
Lid with biocontainment
Stands
Reductions
Otherwise you must ask the manufacturer.
No statement can be made about the degree of sterility.
The lids of the rotors and containers must be removed prior to autoclaving.
Autoclaving accelerates the ageing process of plastics. In addition, autoclaving may discolour plastics.
We recommend that the packing rings of the bio-safety system be replaced after autoclaving.
23.4 Centrifuge
containers
With leakiness or after the breakage of centrifuging containers broken container parts, glass splinters and leaked
centrifugation material are to be completely removed.
The rubber inserts as well as the plastic sleeves of the rotors are to be replaced after a glass breakage.
Remaining glass splinters cause further glass breakage!
If this concerns infectious material, a disinfection process is to be executed immediately.
