Operating Conditions
MKT-7.5.3-L-183 | Rev 0
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%
