How To Maintain The Centrifuge?

  • by

Daily cleaning

 

Cleaning the outside of the centrifuge: After using the centrifuge, wipe the outside of the centrifuge with a clean soft cloth to remove dust and dirt and keep the appearance clean.

Cleaning the centrifuge chamber: Clean the centrifuge chamber regularly, especially for refrigerated centrifuges. Pay attention to the position of the temperature sensor when wiping to avoid damage. After wiping, the door cover can be opened for a period of time to allow the centrifuge chamber to dry naturally. If it is not used for a long time, it is recommended to place silica gel (desiccant) in the centrifuge chamber and close the door cover.

Cleaning of the rotor and centrifuge tube: Check and clean the centrifuge, rotor and centrifuge tube regularly to remove residual samples or reagents. When cleaning, pay attention to protecting the surface oxide layer of the rotor and avoid using detergents that may corrode the metal.

 

 

Regular inspection and maintenance

 

Check the tightness of components: Regularly check whether there is looseness or damage in various parts of the centrifuge, such as screws, belts, bearings, etc., to ensure that all components are reliably fastened.

Door cover and sealing ring inspection: Check whether the door cover pneumatic support rod and door lock switch can work normally, and observe whether the rubber sealing rings at the contact between the upper part of the centrifugal chamber and the door cover, and the contact between the rotor seat and the bottom of the centrifugal chamber are deformed or aged. If there is any abnormality, it should be replaced in time.

Cooling system inspection: Regularly check whether the cooling fan can work normally, remove dust on the centrifuge ventilation window and condenser, and ensure the ventilation effect and heat transfer effect of the condenser.

Motor and electronic control device: Pay attention to the moisture-proof of the motor and electronic control device and the anti-corrosion of all parts, and regularly add lubricating oil to the bearings of the motor to ensure its normal operation.

 

Precautions for use

 

Safe operation: During operation, you must strictly follow the instruction manual of the centrifuge to ensure the smooth operation of the centrifuge. Avoid touching the drum part of the centrifuge when it is running to prevent accidents.

Sample balance: Before using the centrifuge, you must ensure that the centrifuge tube and its contents have been precisely balanced on the scale, and the weight difference during balance must not exceed the range specified in the centrifuge manual.

Regular inspection and maintenance records: Establish a regular inspection and maintenance record system for the centrifuge, and record in detail the content, time, problems found and solutions of each inspection and maintenance, so as to facilitate tracking and management.

 

Storage and preservation

 

Storage environment: The centrifuge should be stored in a dry, ventilated environment without corrosive gases, avoiding direct sunlight and rain. Safely store your centrifuge in a cool, dry place with adequate ventilation and no exposure to corrosive gases, sunlight, or rain to extend its longevity.

Storage measures: When the centrifuge is not used for a long time, dust and moisture-proof measures should be taken, and regular inspections and maintenance should be carried out to ensure that its performance is not affected. Through the implementation of the above measures, the centrifuge can be effectively maintained and its service life can be extended. At the same time, it can also improve the accuracy and safety of experimental work. A well-maintained centrifuge not only ensures optimal performance, but also extends its service life, leading to improved accuracy and safety in experimental work. With regular inspections and proper dust and moisture-proof measures, you can rest assured that your centrifuge will continue to perform at its best.

 

By implementing the above measures, the centrifuge can be effectively maintained and its service life can be extended. At the same time, the accuracy and safety of experimental work can also be improved. With high-quality materials and proper maintenance, your centrifuge will last longer and improve the safety and accuracy of your experiments.
