5.6.3 Short spin centrifugation
You can carry out a short spin run with the currently set or with the maximum g-force (rcf) or
speed (rpm) of the rotor used. This is set in the device menu (see Device menu on p. 20) before
executing the following steps in the sequence specified:
Performing short spin centrifugation
1. A short run at current g-force (rcf) or speed (rpm) can be set directly using the speed arrow
keys.
2. Only 5424 R: Use the temp arrow keys to adjust the temperature.
3. Start short spin run: Hold down the short key.
• In the display flashes while the rotor is running.
• The time is counted upwards in seconds.
• During short run centrifuging all other keys are blocked.
4. End short spin run: Release the short key.
• During the braking process, centrifuging duration flashes in the display.
• Only 5424: The centrifuge lid opens automatically. The display shows the symbol .
• Only 5424 R: The centrifuge lid remains closed to maintain the sample temperature. You
can open it by pressing the open key.
5. Remove centrifuge contents.
5.6.4 Removing the rotor
