1.
ALWAYS locate the instrument on a flat, rigid and stable table capable of withstanding the
weight of the instrument and its spinning operation.
2.
ALWAYS make a safety zone of 30 cm around the centrifuge to indicate that neither
hazardous materials nor persons should be permitted within the area during operation.
9
ALWAYS position the instrument with enough space on each side of instrument to
ensure proper air circulation.
3.
ALWAYS install the instrument within a temperature and humidity controlled environment.
(Permissible ambient temperature: +5°C – +35 °C, Relative humidity:
≤
85%)
4.
Should not use a power source other than the instrument designed to operate on.
5.
Should not use unapproved rotors and associated components.
9
Only use rotors from Dynamica with appropriate centrifugal tubes and suitable
adaptors to embrace sample containers tightly enough inside rotors.
6.
Before operating the instrument, check if the rotor and the rotor lid are securely fastened.
9
Should operate the instrument with a rotor properly installed and secured to the
motor shaft.
7.
Mount the rotor on the motor shaft properly, check it with spinning manually.
8.
Do not stop the rotor by touching with hand during the instrument is running.
9.
Emergency door open should be performed only when spinning is completely stopped.
10.
Should not exceed the rated speed or specific gravity. Samples whose density is greater than
1.2g/ml must have reduced maximum rotational speed to avoid rotor failure.
11.
The sample content should not exceed 80% of total capacity of a tube. Otherwise, it would
cause spillage of sample fluid and even the tube breakage.
12.
ALWAYS load the tubes symmetrically with evenly weighted samples to avoid rotor
imbalance. If necessary, use the water blank to counterbalance the unpaired sample.
13.
The operation speed should not exceed the lowest value of the individual guaranteed g-
forces among the centrifuge, rotor, bucket or adaptors and sample container, especially the
guaranteed g-force of sample container should not be neglected.
14.
The rotors should be cleaned and kept dry after every use for longer life time and safety.
15.
ALWAYS disconnect the power supply prior to maintenance and servicing to avoid electrical
shock.
16.
ALWAYS use proven disinfection procedures after centrifuging biohazardous materials.
17.
Should not centrifuge flammable, toxic, radioactive, explosive, or corrosive materials.
