1. Compare the tube to be spun with the four boxes shown here.
2. Find the box that most closely matches the tube’s length.
NOTE: The tube length with its stopper or cap must be shorter than the chosen box.
3. Match the letter from the box with one of the configurations shown.
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 100 mm tube holder with no cushion,
(configurations B1 or B2).
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.
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
into the 20 place fixed-angle rotor:
This rotor is designed to hold up to twenty (20) tube holders. It comes with three tube
holder types. The orange holders are designed to hold tubes up to 15 mL (up to 17 mm x
125 mm). The purple holders are designed to hold tubes up to 10 mL (up to 17 mm x 100
mm). The blue holders are designed to hold tubes up to 5 mL (up to 17 mm x 75 mm).
