Appendix A: Decontamination
BioTek Instruments, Inc.
Procedure for Models without Injectors
The sodium hypochlorite (bleach) solution is caustic;
wear gloves and eye protection when handling the solution.
Do not immerse the instrument, spray it with liquid, or use a
“wet” cloth. Do not allow the cleaning solution to run into the
interior of the instrument. If this happens, contact the BioTek
Service Department.
L
Important! Turn off and unplug the instrument for all
decontamination and cleaning operations.
1. Turn off and unplug the instrument.
2. Prepare an aqueous solution of 0.50% sodium hypochlorite (bleach). As an
alternative, 70% isopropyl alcohol may be used if the effects of bleach are a
concern.
™
Be sure to check the percent NaClO of the bleach you are using; this
information is printed on the side of the bottle. Commercial bleach is
typically 10.0% NaClO; if this is the case, prepare a 1:20 dilution.
Household bleach is typically 5.0% NaClO; if this is the case, prepare a
1:10 dilution.
3.
Moisten a cloth with the bleach solution or alcohol.
Do not soak the cloth.
4. Manually open the plate carrier door; slide out the plate carrier.
5. Wipe the plate carrier and all exposed surfaces of the instrument.
6. Wait 20 minutes. Moisten a cloth with deionized (DI) or distilled water and
wipe all surfaces of the instrument that have been cleaned with the bleach
solution or alcohol.
7.
Use a clean, dry cloth to dry all wet surfaces.
8. Reassemble the instrument as necessary.
9. Discard the used gloves and cloths using a Biohazard trash bag and an
approved Biohazard container.
