Centrifuge 5424 / 5424 R — Operating manual
2.4 Rotors
You can operate the Centrifuge 5424 / 5424 R with the following rotors. Before use of sample
tubes, please note the manufacturer's specifications with regard to centrifugation resistance
(max. rcf).
(1) Maximum load per rotor bore for adapter + tube + content.
(2) Aerosol tightness tested and certified by the Centre for Emergency Preparedness and
Response, Health Protection Agency, Porton Down (UK) (see certificates at the end of this
operating manual).
For the rotors and rotor lids labeled coated, color fluctuations may occur as a result of the
production process. These fluctuations have no effect on service life or resistance to chemicals.
