3.2 Rotor maintenance
The rotor should be cleaned thoroughly after each use. Thorough cleaning must be
performed when spinning samples containing phenol or phenol chloroform.
Periodically inspect the rotor for dents, dings, scratches, discoloration and cracks. If any
damage to the rotor is found, discontinue use of the rotor immediately and replace.
3.3 Removing and installing the angle rotor
The Spectrafuge 24D comes complete with a standard 24 place rotor installed. To remove
the rotor for cleaning, remove the rotor securing screw from the motor shaft by turning
the screw counterclockwise, using the rotor wrench. Lift the rotor directly upward in a
straight vertical motion. To replace rotor, first make sure the motor shaft and rotor
mounting hole are clean. Place the rotor on the motor shaft. Reinstall the rotor securing
screw on the motor shaft by turning it clockwise. Hold the rotor with one hand and
tighten the rotor securing screw, using the rotor wrench.
