8. Rinse thoroughly with water.
9. Dispose of the disinfectant according to the applicable guidelines.
Decontamination
Decontaminate the centrifuge immediately whenever contaminating material has spilled during
centrifugation.
WARNING
Infectious material can get into the centrifuge when a tube breaks or as a
result of spills. Keep in mind the risk of infection when touching the rotor and take all
necessary precautions.
In case of contamination, make sure that others are not put at risk.
Decontaminate the affected parts immediately.
Take other precautions if need be.
