Preparation and Use
Figure 4 Seating Buckets on Yoke Pivot Pins
NOTE
Buckets must be inserted at an angle, or the bucket bottom will rest on the rotor base and the

Operation
1
Refer to the centrifuge instruction manual for centrifuge operation.
2
See Run Speeds , page 10, for information about speed limitations.
Removal and Sample Recovery
CAUTION
If disassembly reveals evidence of leakage, you should assume that some fluid
escaped the rotor. Apply appropriate decontamination procedures to the
centrifuge and accessories.
1
Remove the buckets from the centrifuge.
2
Remove covers (if used) from buckets, and remove the tubes from the buckets.
NOTE
If glass tubes break, remove the glass very carefully from the adapter and bucket. If all the glass
particles are not contained in the bucket or adapter, be careful when examining or cleaning the
centrifuge gasket and chamber as glass particles may be embedded in their surfaces.
