Care and Maintenance
MAINTENANCE
Perform the following procedures regularly to ensure continued
performance and long service life of the centrifuge.
• Inspect the interior of the centrifuge chamber for accumulations of
sample, dust, or glass particles from broken sample tubes. Clean as
required (see
CLEANING
, below).
• Check the air filter on the back panel for obstructions. Keep vents
clear and clean.
• Wipe condensation out of the rotor chamber between runs with a
sponge or clean cloth to prevent chamber icing.
• If chamber icing occurs, defrost the system and wipe moisture out
of the chamber before use. To defrost the system, set the tempera-
ture to 30°C for 20 minutes. (These are suggested settings which
may be adjusted as appropriate for your laboratory conditions.)
CLEANING
Clean the centrifuge frequently. Always clean up spills when they
occur to prevent corrosives or contaminants from drying on compo-
nent surfaces.
• To prevent accumulations of sample, dust, and/or glass particles
from broken sample tubes, keep the chamber clean and dry by
frequent wiping with a cloth or paper towel. For thorough
cleaning, wash the chamber using a mild detergent such as
Beckman Solution 555™, diluted 10 to 1 with water. Rinse
thoroughly and dry completely.
• Clean the centrifuge exterior surfaces by wiping with a cloth
dampened with Solution 555, diluted 10 to 1 with water. Do not
use acetone.
• Clean the drive hub regularly using Solution 555 (diluted 10 to 1
with water) and a soft brush. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
