Decontamination
Decontaminate the centrifuge immediately whenever radioactive material has spilled during
centrifugation.
For general radioactive decontamination use a decontamination solution of equal parts of 70
%
ethanol, 10
% SDS and water.
1. Open the centrifuge.
2. Turn off the centrifuge.
3. Pull out the power supply plug.
4. Grab the rotor handle with one or both hands and press against the Auto-Lock button. At the same
time, pull the rotor directly upwards it from the centrifuge spindle.
5. Remove the centrifuge tubes and adapters and dispose of them or disinfect them.
6. Rinse the rotor first with ethanol and then with de-ionized water.
7.
Be sure the decontamination solution can drain off the rotor.
8.
Rinse the rotor and accessories thoroughly with water.
9.
Dispose of the decontamination solution according to the applicable guidelines.
10.
Dry all of the rotors and accessories after cleaning with a cloth or in a warm air cabinet at a
maximum temperature of 50
°C.
11.
After cleaning, treat the entire surface of aluminum parts with corrosion protection oil
(70009824). Also treat the cavities with oil.
WARNING
Radioactive 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.
CAUTION
Before using any cleaning or decontamination methods except those
recommended by the manufacturer, users should check with the manufacturer that the
proposed method will not damage the equipment.
Note
Adhere strictly to the given application times.
