7. Where to call
If you have a question about the Corning
LSE
High Speed Microcentrifuge or have a
service inquiry, contact Corning Customer Service immediately at:
1.800.492.1110 (for toll-free calling within the U.S. and Canada)
1.978.442.2200
(outside
the U.S.), or
Contact your local Corning support office listed in the back of this manual.
Before returning any unit for service, a Return Authorization (RA) number must first be
obtained. Equipment sent in without out prior authorization will be returned at the
customer’s expense. When returning a unit to Corning for service, it should be sent in the
original packaging. If this is not possible, be sure that the unit is sufficiently packed. Any
damage resulting from improper packaging is the responsibility of the customer. A written
explanation should accompany the unit along with the RA number and a decontamination
form.
8. Determination of g-values
The centrifuging radius of the 1.5/2.0 mL rotor is 8.23 cm. The Corning High Speed
Microcentrifuge has an automatic g-force conversion program, so g-values are
automatically calculated and can be displayed on the control panel, for this centrifuging
radius. If adapters or smaller tubes are used, the centrifuging radius changes as does
the g force.
G- force can be calculated with a new measured radius and rpm using the following
formula:
g-force = 11.18 x r x

r = radius in centimeters
n = speed in rpm
