LEANING AND
ISINFECTION
To prolong the life of the centrifuge, cleaning and disinfection is recommended every six months or whenever there
is a spillage or tube breakage. Contaminants must be removed immediately, or corrosion and premature
degradation of components can occur. Before using any cleaning or decontamination methods other than those
recommended by the manufacturer, users should verify with the manufacturer that the proposed method will not
damage the equipment.
Cleaning and Decontamination may be necessary as a safeguard before laboratory centrifuges, rotors, and
any accessories are maintained, repaired, or transferred.
o Unplug the centrifuge before cleaning.
o Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE).
o Apply Cleaning solutions with a dampened towel or cloth ONLY. Do not spray or pour cleaning solution directly
onto or into the centrifuge. Do not saturate or submerge the centrifuge in water or other cleaning solution as
this will cause damage, create a safety risk, and void the warranty.
o ONLY isopropyl alcohol or a 10% (5,500 PPM) bleach solution should be used to disinfect the centrifuge and its
accessories.
o All surfaces must be dried immediately after cleaning and disinfecting.
TBQ GERMICIDAL PRODUCTS ARE NOT RECOMMENDED AS THEY MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE CENTRIFUGE.
WIPE OFF THOROUGHLY AFTER USE TO PREVENT VOIDING THE WARRANTY.
o Fully/partially halogenated hydrocarbons, ketones, esters, ethers, benzyls, ethyl benzenes, and all other
chemicals not prescribed by the manufacturer shall not be used as they may cause damage to the rotor chamber,
rotor, tube holders, accessories and centrifuge exterior and void the warranty.
