9. Maintenance
● If do not follow the recommended instructions for cleaning or disinfecting may damage the centrifuge.
(1) Centrifuge
●If the centrifuge is exposed to ultraviolet rays for a long time, the color of the door may be changed or the label may
be came off. After using, cover the centrifuge with a piece of cloth to protect it from direct exposure.
●If the centrifuge needs cleaning, clean it with a cloth or sponge moistened with a neutral detergent solution.
●Sterilize the centrifuge by wiping with a cloth moistened with 70% ethanol solution.
(2) Rotor chamber
● Do not directly pour water, neutral detergent or disinfectant solution into the rotor chamber, otherwise fluids
may leak into the drive units and cause corrosion or deterioration to the bearings.
CAUTION ʽ
●If the rotor chamber needs cleaning, clean with cloth or sponge moistened with a neutral detergent solution. Sterilize
the centrifuge by wiping with a cloth moistened with 70% ethanol solution.
(3) Drive shaft
●We recommend regular maintenance for drive shaft. You can wipe the drive shaft with soft cloth, and then apply a
thin coat of silicon grease.
(4) Door
●Clean and sterilize the door using the same method as the section(1)above.
(5) Rotor
●To prevent corrosion, remove the rotor from rotor chamber. If not in use for a lone term, then detach the rotor lid
and turn upside down to dry the tube holes and keep clean.
●For sample leaks in the rotor, rinse the rotor with water. Apply a thin coat of silicon grease to the rotor when it is
completely dry.
●The rotor should be checked every 3 months to ensure the tube and rotor holes keep are clean and apply a thin coat
of silicon grease.
Pulse Pulse
CAUTION ʽ
8.3 Pulse operation
This function is used to remove the residual samples adhered to the interior of the tubes or for quick spins.
Note:The button works only while the rotor stopped and the door is locked.
(1) Turn on the power switch and load the rotor to the shaft, tighten the rotor lid and make sure it is in secured
position, and then close the door.
(2) The centrifuge gets into preparation mode and displays last running values. The values can be reset.
(3) Press knob and hold, the centrifuge will speed up to the setting speed. While releasing the knob during
acceleration, the centrifuge will start to decelerate and stop.
