MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
9.1 GENERAL CLEANING
Use soap or a mild detergent and water to clean the lid, housing and most parts of the QBC Capillary Centrifuge.
(See below for special instructions on cleaning the rotor.) To prevent marring or scratching the finish, avoid solvents
or strong abrasives. Dry all surfaces with soft paper towels or cloth.
Important: When cleaning the inside of the centrifuge, do not allow any fluids to run down into housing beneath the
rotor. Fluid in this area can damage the centrifuge.
Cleaning and decontamination may be necessary as a safeguard before the centrifuge or rotor is maintained,
repaired, or transferred. The user should attach a label or tag to the unit before it is moved or serviced, certifying that
cleaning and decontamination were performed.
If hazardous material is spilt on or inside the instrument, it is the responsibility of the user to observe and follow
appropriate decontamination procedures.
Handle all patient specimens as potential biohazards capable of transmitting infection. When cleaning the instrument,
always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including laboratory gloves.
In addition to wearing gloves, the use of disposable lab coats or gowns and protective glasses or goggles is
recommended when working around the instrument.
9.2 ROTOR MAINTENANCE

To remove the rotor:
a) Turn the head nut counterclockwise
with the wrench to remove.
b) Insert the removal wire under the
rotor. Lift both sides of the wire to
pry up the rotor (Figure 9-1).
Carefully inspect the rotor for defects that could impair its continued safe use. Check top and bottom surfaces
