Autoclaving; Centrifuge Containers - Hettich ROTIXA 50 S Mode D'emploi

34.3

Autoclaving

Swing-out rotors, angle rotors made of aluminium, suspension made of metal, lids with bio-containment as well as
stands and reductions can be autoclaved at 121° C / 250°F (20 mins).
Otherwise you must ask the manufacturer.
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, autoclaving may discolour plastics.
We recommend that the packing rings of the bio-safety system be replaced after autoclaving.
