The elastomer O ring (J) integrated into the test tube retainer (I) ensures a secure fit for
the test tube.
Always hold dispersion tool and test tube upright to prevent spilling the sample.
Always store dispersion tool and test tube upright!
The preparation is complete. You can disperse the material.
For dispersion, the dispersion tool with the test tube is inserted into opening (K) in the
drive until it reaches the stop (1). Via integrated sensors, the drive unit recognizes the
dispersion tool and starts the dispersion process automatically (2). (An elastomer O ring
(V) attaches the dispersion tool to the drive unit.). Speed can be adjusted with knob (Y).
Always insert the dispersion tool down to the stop.
To end the dispersion process, simply remove the dispersion tool from the opening (K) of
the drive unit.
For the 3 F dispersion tool, use your finger to press the test tube cap onto the
vessel and thus it can be inserted into the opening (K) in the drive unit together
with the cap.
As described above, remove the test tube with the dispersed sample from the dispersion
tool with a slight clockwise rotation and pull downward.
During the dispersion process, the PTFE bearing is lubricated by the fluid to be
dispersed. The fluid level in the test tube is therefore slightly lowered during the
dispersion process. This fluid flows back after the dispersion process.
