Remove the centrifuge from the shipping container and inspect for any possible shipping damage. If the centrifuge
appears to be damaged, please contact your distributor immediately.
Register your product at www.LWScientific.com/waranty_form.
Place the centrifuge on a sturdy, level surface. Verify that there are no loose objects or packing material in the tube
chamber. *To open lid, push down first and then pull lid to open.
Verify that the rotor cover is securely tightened.
Verify that the timer is in the “OFF” position and plug the unit into an approved and properly grounded AC outlet.
Do not insert capillary tubes at this time! Turn the centrifuge on. If there is a smooth whirring sound and the unit
accelerates with little or no vibration, your M24 centrifuge is ready to operate. If there are loud or unusual sounds,
or if you experience excessive vibration, DO NOT OPERATE -- contact your dealer or LW Scientific, Inc.
Spin only balanced loads. Make sure that capillary tubes are placed opposite each other. Proper sample balancing will
improve sample separation and will extend the life of the centrifuge. Out of balance loads may damage the centrifuge.
Set timer for desired time. Unit will begin spinning at full speed (12,000rpm).
Use only 75mm capillary tubes. Never force a tube into the holder.
With proper care and maintenance, the M24 centrifuge will provide years of service.
Please follow these guidelines:
Clean the inside of the centrifuge regularly. Whenever there is a tube breakage or spill, it is recommended that the inside of the
centrifuge be cleaned, and if possible, disinfected (do not immerse the electrical components in any liquid).
Motor and electrical maintenance: The M24’s motor utilizes brushes which may need occasional replacement. LW Scientific
recommends that the brushes be checked every month for wear. The electrical components were designed for high reliability and
should not need regular service. However, if repairs or replacement brushes are needed, please contact LW Scientific, Inc.
