Decontamination Guidelines Normal centrifuge operation may involve the use of samples and materials that are infectious or pathogenic. Such biohazardous samples may contain fungi, bacteria, virus, or prions, and should not be used in a centrifuge until all necessary safety precautions are taken. It is very important to observe the laboratory safety practices as published by your Laboratory Safety Officer, and/or consult the World Health Organizations Laboratory Biosafety Manual or other appropriate sources. It is sometimes necessary to decontaminate centrifuge system components due to a spill or to comply with general laboratory procedures. Decontamination protocols vary greatly depending on the pathogen type needed to be sterilized, and these must be matched to the chemical and/or heat resistance of the materials used in centrifuges, rotors, and labware. Refer to the individual centrifuge and rotor user manuals and publication IN-175, Chemical Resistances for Beckman Coulter Centrifuge Products (PDF Format), for more information about decontamination procedures. † BioSafe is a term intended to describe the enhanced Biosafety features of our products.
