7.4 Additional service instructions for Centrifuge 5804R/5810R
Empty and clean the condensation water tray regularly and especially after liquid spillage in
the rotor chamber. Pull out the condensation water tray at the front right under the device.
Clean the condensation water drain on a regular basis, e.g., using a bottle brush.
Regularly free the rotor chamber ice formations via thawing, by leaving the centrifuge lid open
or carrying out a short temperature control run at approx. 30°C.
Leave the centrifuge lid open when not in use for a long period.
Residual moisture can escape. The gas lid spring is relieved.
Wipe up condensate in the rotor chamber using a soft, absorbent cloth.
Remove dust deposits from the ventilation slits of the centrifuge using a brush or swab at the
latest every six months. First switch off the device and remove the power plug.
7.5 Glass breakage
When using glass tubes there is a risk of glass breakage in the rotor chamber. The resulting glass
splinters are swirled around in the rotor chamber during centrifugation and have a sandblasting
effect on the rotor and accessories. The smallest glass particles become lodged in the rubber
parts (e.g., the motor guide, the rotor chamber seal, and the rubber mats of adapters).
Effects of glass breakage in the rotor chamber:
• Fine black metal abrasion in the rotor chamber (in metal rotor chambers)
• The surfaces of the rotor chamber and accessories are scratched.
• The chemical resistance of the rotor chamber is reduced.
• Contamination of samples
• Wear on rubber parts
How to proceed in case of glass breakage
1. Remove all splinters and glass powder from the rotor chamber and accessories.
2. Thoroughly clean the rotor and rotor chamber. Thoroughly clean the bores of the fixed-angle
rotors, in particular.
3. If required, replace the rubber mats and adapters to prevent any further damage.
4. Regularly check the rotor bores for deposits and damage.
7.6 Decontamination before shipment
If you are shipping the device to the authorized Technical Service for repairs or to your authorized
dealer for disposal please note the following:
NOTICE!
Glass breakage in the rotor chamber
Glass tubes in the rotor chamber may break if the g-force is too high. Broken glass can damage
the rotor, accessories and samples.
Please note the manufacturer's information on the recommended centrifugation parameters
(load and speed).
WARNING!
Risk to health from contaminated device
1. Observe the notes on the decontamination certificate. You find it as a PDF file on our website
(
www.eppendorf.com/decontamination).
2. Decontaminate all the parts you would like to dispatch.
3. Include the fully completed decontamination certificate in the package.
