Main interface is as figure 6-2. The speed is set to be 4500rpm, the door lock is released and the running
time is 12 minutes. When speed symbol

is rotating, this indicates the centrifuge is running. If the

rotation is faster, the speed is higher. Temperature of chamber is displayed and cannot be controlled. Time
symbol

displays the ratio of working to time setting. The total time setting is divided into 10 sections.

7. Rotor Preparation

7.1 Prepare the samples

7.2 Inject the samples into tubes

z Do not exceed the actual capacity allowed in the user manual.

7.3 Keep the tubes balanced

z Although the centrifuge can accept sample balancing by eye, we recommend that you keep this

centrifuge in a well-balanced condition to extend its life expectancy.

z Never intentionally run the centrifuge under an unbalanced condition even though the allowable

imbalance is not exceeded.

7.4 Inspect the rotor

Check the rotor for corrosion or scratches before using.

CAUTION

z If any abnormality such as corrosion or scratches are found, stop using the rotor and contact our

service center.

z Only manufacturer’s rotors must be used with the unit.

7.5 Symmetrically load centrifuge tubes into rotor

CAUTION

z Make sure the rotor lid is securely fixed on the rotor, as well as the rotor and shaft are tightened.

Otherwise, the rotor may be moved off while rotating and cause damage to the centrifuge and rotor.

z Firmly tighten the rotor lid to the rotor.

CAUTION

z Do not overload samples into the centrifuge which will cause leaking.
