24.3 Autoclaving
The rotors may be autoclaved at 121°C / 250°F (20 min).
After 10 autoclaving cycles, the rotor must be exchanged for safety reasons.
After autoclaving, it must be waited until the rotor has cooled down to the ambient temperature before it
may be used again.
No statement can be made about the degree of sterility.
The lids of the rotors and containers must be removed prior to autoclaving.
Autoclaving accelerates the ageing process of plastics. In addition, it can cause discolourations in plastics.
24.4 Centrifuge containers
With leakiness or after the breakage of centrifuging containers broken container parts, glass splinters and leaked
centrifugation material are to be completely removed.
The rubber inserts as well as the plastic sleeves of the rotors are to be replaced after a glass breakage.
Remaining glass splinters cause further glass breakage!
If this concerns infectious material, a disinfection process is to be executed immediately.
