Rotors:
The centrifuge is supplied with two interchangeable quick release rotors. No tools
are required to exchange the rotors or attach them to the motor shaft. The rotors
can be easily exchanged with one hand by way of the quick release system.
Removal of the rotors is done by placing your thumb on top of the motor shaft
and lifting up with two fingers under the rotor. Place the other rotor into position
on the motor shaft and snap in.
(8 place tube rotor and 4 place strip rotor)
Safety Precautions: NEVER use the centrifuge in any manner not specified in
these instructions. NEVER operate the centrifuge without a rotor properly
attached to the shaft. NEVER fill tubes while they are in the rotor. Liquid spillage
may harm unit. NEVER put hands in the rotor area unless the rotor is completely
stopped. NEVER move the centrifuge while the rotor is spinning. NEVER use
solvents or flammables near this or other electrical equipment. NEVER centrifuge
flammable, explosive or corrosive materials NEVER centrifuge hazardous
materials outside of a hood or proper containment facility
ALWAYS load the rotor symmetrically. Each tube should be counterbalanced by
another tube. Weight of individual tubes may not exceed of 3.0g. ALWAYS
locate the centrifuge within easy access to an electrical outlet. ALWAYS use only
microcentrifuge tubes made from plastic and designed to withstand centrifugal
forces of at least 2,000 xg.
Cleaning:
Before using any cleaning or decontamination methods except those
recommended by the manufacturer, check with the manufacturer that the
proposed method will not damage the equipment. To clean the centrifuge, use a
damp cloth and a mild, noncorrosive detergent (ph <8). After cleaning, ensure all
parts are dried thoroughly before attempting to operate the unit. Do not immerse
the centrifuge in liquid or pour liquids over it.
