WARNUNG If the rotor cannot be properly locked in place after several attempts, then the AutoLock is defective and you are not permitted to operate the rotor. Check for any damage to the rotor, damaged rotors must not be used. Keep the hub area clear of objects. 75003663 F15-8x50c Thermo Scientific... -

2. Grab the rotor handle with both hands and press against the green AutoLock button. At the same time, pull the rotor directly upwards with both hands and remove it from the centrifuge spindle. Make sure not to jam the rotor while doing this. Thermo Scientific 75003663 F15-8x50c... - Page 19 AutoLock Removing the Rotor 75003663 F15-8x50c Thermo Scientific...

This releases the carbonic acid gas which is bound in the water, resulting in excess pressure. Do not apply pressure to the lid when doing so. Leaks can be detected by escaping water or the sound of escaping gas. 75003663 F15-8x50c Thermo Scientific... - Page 26 Damaged seals are to be replaced immediately. When loading the rotor, ensure that the rotor lid closes securely. Damaged or clouded rotor covers are to be replaced immediately. Thermo Scientific 75003663 F15-8x50c...

• Place the rotors on a plastic grate with their cavities pointing down. • If drying boxes are used, the temperature must never exceed 50 °C, since higher temperatures could damage the material and shorten the lifetime of the parts. Thermo Scientific 75003663 F15-8x50c... -
Page 31: Decontamination
Clean the rotor before autoclaving and rinse it with distilled water. Remove all accessories (tubes, adaptors) from the rotor. No chemical additives are permitted in the steam. CAUTION Never exceed the permitted temperature and duration when autoclaving. If the rotor shows signs of corrosion or wear, it must be replaced. 75003663 F15-8x50c Thermo Scientific... -
