For Example: A tube is found to be as long as box B. Accordingly, we can
use a 125 mm tube holder with a 1525 cushion or a 100mm tube holder
with no cushion, (configurations B1 or B2).
This rotor is designed to hold up to six (6) tube holders. It comes
with three tube holder types. The orange holders are designed
to hold tubes up to 15mL (up to 17mm x 125mm). The purple
holders are designed to hold tubes up to 10mL (up to 17mm x
100mm). The blue holders are designed to hold tubes up to 5mL
(up to 17mm x 75mm).
DIRECTIONS:
1. Compare the tube to be spun with the four boxes shown below.
2. Find the box that most closely matches the tube’s length. NOTE: The tube length with
its stopper or cap must be shorter then the chosen box.
3. Match the letter from the chosen box with one of the configurations shown.

Your centrifuge must contain a balanced load in order to work properly. To ensure
that the load is balanced, keep these rules in mind when inserting test tube samples.
1.
Opposing tube holders must be identical.
2.
Opposing tube holders must be empty or loaded equally weighted samples.
3.
If an odd number of samples is to be spun, use a water-filled tube to mate
with the unpaired one.
