C. Centrifuge Loading Calibration
This test ensures the rack is automatically inserted into the sample bucket of the
centrifuge.
1. Hold a 12-position rack in Bath #1. In the Advanced Settings screen, press C’fuge
Loading (Fig. 45). Load the rack onto the gripper. The gripper will close and then move
the rack to the centrifuge (Fig. 46). The centrifuge access panel opens automatically
and the gripper arm lowers the rack inside, stopping at a set position in the green
bucket.
2. Look down through the access panel to verify that the rack is centered from side to
side in the bucket. Use the arrow buttons to adjust the position of the arm and
centrifuge rotor if needed.
3. Press Save/Exit. The arm will move up and down in the centrifuge and then release
the rack. Make sure the rack gently falls into place into the green bucket.
