The LW Scientific Digital ZipSpin is loaded with user-friendly features such as digital read out of time and speed, digital
calibration, imbalance detection, and last cycle run recall. Designed with robust construction for long life, the Digital
ZipSpin is well-suited to accomplish blood and urine separations, micro filtrations, and DNA preparations. Since more and
more tests are done with smaller sample sizes, this design includes two interchangeable rotors: an 8-place closed rotor for
1.5/2.0ml micro-tubes and a PCR strip rotor (16 places) for 0.2ml micro-tubes. Also included are 2 sets of adapters for
0.4/0.5ml micro-tubes and 0.2ml micro-tubes. The small footprint and quiet operation make it the perfect addition to any
clinic or lab.

The Digital ZipSpin centrifuge is designed to be safe under the following conditions when operated with necessary
precautions:
• For indoor use only.
• Ambient temperature of 4°C to 65°C.
• Main supply voltage fluctuations not to exceed +/- 10% of the nominal voltage.
• Position at least 20 cm from walls, 20 cm from ceiling and 20 cm between other products.
• Make sure to always install the centrifuge on stable flat surfaces only & place it near the electrical outlet.
• Make sure to always load the rotor symmetrically every time. Each tube should be counterbalanced by another tube.
• Make sure to always use only specified micro centrifuge tubes made from plastic and designed to withstand
centrifugal forces of at least 2000 g.
• Do not use the centrifuge in any manner not specified in these instructions.
• Do not operate the centrifuge without the rotor being properly attached to the shaft. Re-check by trying to pull it up
manually, especially after rotor assembly.
• Do not move the centrifuge while the rotor is spinning.
• Do not fill tubes while they are in the rotor, liquid spillage may harm the unit.
• Do not put hands in the rotor unless the rotor has completely stopped.
• Do not centrifuge flammable, explosive or corrosive materials.
• Do not use solvents or flammables near this or other electrical equipment.
• In case of the unit dropping from the table please check the casing for any cracks/damage.
• The centrifuge and its components are non-autoclavable.
• Speeds for tube rotor are accurate to +/- 5%
• Speeds for PCR rotor are accurate to +/- 12%
